Answer:

Mole fraction of salt is 0.00049.

The concentration of the salt solution in percent by mass is 0.16%.

The concentration of the salt solution in parts per million is 1,610.18 .

Explanation:

Molarity of the NaCl solution = [tex]2.750\times 10^{-2} M[/tex]

Moles of NaCl = [tex]n_2[/tex]

Volume of the solution = 1.000 L

Molarity=[tex]\frac{\text{Moles of compound}}{\text{Volume of solution(L)}}[/tex]

[tex]2.750\times 10^{-2} M=\frac{n_1}{1 L}[/tex]

[tex]n_1=2.750\times 10^{-2} mol[/tex]

Mass of [tex]2.750\times 10^{-2} mol[/tex] of NaCl :

[tex]2.750\times 10^{-2} mol\times 58.5 g/mol=1.60875 g[/tex]

Mass of water = m

Density of water = 0.9982 g/mL

Volume of water = 999.3 mL

[tex]Mass=Density\times Volume [/tex]

[tex]m=0.9982 g/mL\times 999.3 mL=997.50 g[/tex]

Moles of water =[tex]n_1=\frac{997.5 g}{18 g/mol}=55.416 mol[/tex]

Mole fraction of salt = [tex]\chi_1[/tex]

[tex]\chi_1=\frac{n_1}{n_1+n_2}=\frac{2.750\times 10^{-2} mol}{2.750\times 10^{-2} mol+55.416 mol}=0.00049[/tex]

Percentage by mass:

[tex]\frac{\text{Mass of Solute}}{\text{Mass of Solution}}\times 100[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1.60875 g}{1.60875 g+997.50 g}\times =0.16\%[/tex]

The concentration of the salt solution in percent by mass is 0.16%.

The concentration of the salt solution in parts per million.

[tex]=\frac{\text{Mass of solute}}{\text{Mass of solution(mL)}}\times 10^6[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1.60875 g}{1.60875 g+997.50 g}\times 10^6=1,610.18 ppm[/tex]
