Sarah bought a neti pot from©. After using up the salt packets she decided to make one from scratch at home. After some Internet research she found out that for every 8 ounces (oz.) of water, she should mix in 1/4 teaspoon (tsp.) of pure non-iodized salt (sodium chlodide, NaCl). Conversion Chart: 1 oz. of water = 29.5738 mL Density of Water = 0.997 g/mL 1 tsp. of salt = 5.9985 g   Answer the following: 1.) What will be the molarity (M) of the solution? 2.) What will be the molality (m) of the solution? (Use density of water to find kg of water). 3.) What is the mole fraction (X) of salt in the solution? Extra Credit: Sarah is unsure about the type of water to use (tap, bottled, or distilled). What do you recommend and why?

Question

Sarah bought a neti pot from©. After using up the salt packets she decided to make one from scratch at home. After some Internet research she found out that for every 8 ounces (oz.) of water, she should mix in 1/4 teaspoon (tsp.) of pure non-iodized salt (sodium chlodide, NaCl).

Conversion Chart:

1 oz. of water = 29.5738 mL

Density of Water = 0.997 g/mL

1 tsp. of salt = 5.9985 g

 

Answer the following:

1.) What will be the molarity (M) of the solution?

2.) What will be the molality (m) of the solution? (Use density of water to find kg of water).

3.) What is the mole fraction (X) of salt in the solution?

Extra Credit: Sarah is unsure about the type of water to use (tap, bottled, or distilled). What do you recommend and why?
