Answer:
To prepare a 1.00 mol dm^-3 sodium chloride solution, we need to dissolve one mole of sodium chloride in one liter of solution (1000 cm^3).
However, we only need to prepare 100 cm^3 of the solution, which is 1/10 of a liter. So we need to dissolve:
1/10 * 1.00 mol = 0.100 mol
of sodium chloride in 100 cm^3 of solution.
The molar mass of sodium chloride is 58.5 g/mol. So to calculate the mass of sodium chloride required, we can use:
mass = number of moles x molar mass
mass = 0.100 mol x 58.5 g/mol
mass = 5.85 g
Therefore, we need 5.85 g of sodium chloride to prepare 100 cm^3 of 1.00 mol dm^-3 sodium chloride solution.
