To find the amount of NaCl dissolved in water, we can use the formula for moles: \[ \text{moles} = \frac{\text{mass (g)}}{\text{molar mass (g/mol)}} \] The molar mass of NaCl is approximately \( 58.44 \, \text{g/mol} \). Therefore: \[ \text{moles of NaCl} = \frac{4 \, \text{g}}{58.44 \, \text{g/mol}} \approx 0.0683 \, \text{mol} \] Next, to calculate the concentration of NaCl in the solution, we use the formula: \[ \text{concentration (mol/dm}^3\text{)} = \frac{\text{moles}}{\text{volume (dm}^3\text{)}} \] Using the moles from before and the volume of \( 0.5 \, \text{dm}^3 \): \[ \text{concentration of NaCl} = \frac{0.0683 \, \text{mol}}{0.5 \, \text{dm}^3} \approx 0.1366 \, \text{mol/dm}^3 \]
