Detailed Solution

Molarity is the number of moles of solute present in one L of the solution.

Molarity=Number of moles of soluteVolume of solution (in L)

Molarity of NaCl is 1 M which depicts that one mole of NaCl present in one liter of the solution. Mass of NaCl present in one mole of NaCl is:

Number of moles of NaCl=Mass of NaClMolecular weight of NaCl1 mol=Mass of NaCl58.5 g/molMass of NaCl=58.5 g

Density is the ratio of mass and volume.

Density=MassVolume

1.0585 g mL-1 is the density of 1 M of NaCl solution.

Density=1.0585 g/mL =1.0585 g/mL×1000 mL1 L =1058.5 g/L

Mass of solution in 1 L is 1058.5 g.

Mass of solution is equal to the mass of water (solvent) and the mass of NaCl (solute).

Mass of solution=Mass of NaCl+Mass of water1058.5 g=58.5 g+Mass of waterMass of water=1000 g

Molality is the number of moles of solute present in volume of solvent (in kg).

Molality=Number of molesVolume of solvent (in kg) =1 mol1000 g×1 kg1000 g =1 m
