How much sodium chloride (nacl) would need to be added to 750 milliliters of water to make a 15% solution?

6.58g

Explanation: We are to find the mass of NaCl that can produce 15% solution in a 750ml

STEP 1:

the reaction moles

NaCl + H2O = NaOH + HCl

Therefore 1mole of NaCl reacts with 1mole of H2O

STEP 2:

convert 750ml to liter

750ml × 1L/1000ml = 0.750L

STEP3 :

convert percentage concentration to mol/L

15% = 0.15mol/L

STEP 4:

find the mole

Mole= concentration× volume

0.15mol/L × 0.75L =0.1125mol

STEP 5 :

Find the mass

Mass = mole × molar mass

The molecular mass of NaCl is 23+35.5= 58.5g/mol

Therefore:

0.1125mol × 58.5g/mol = 6.58g

Approximately: 6.6g

"record the time to complete a chemical reaction" would most likely be part of a lab procedure.
