How many grams of NaCl (molecular weight=58.5g mole) would you dissolve in water to make a 50mM NaCl solution with 500mL final volume?
 How many grams of NaCl (molecular weight=58.5g mole) would you dissolve in water to make a 50mM NaCl solution with 500mL final volume?
Solution
50mM NaCl has 0.050 moles NaCl / litre
 
 so
 500ml @ 0.050 moles / litre = 0.025 moles NaCl
 
 using molar mass:
 0.025 mol NaCl @ 58.44 g/mol = 1.461 g
 
 
 I would dissolve 1.46 g NaCl into some water,
 then add enough water to dilute it to 500 ml
