seawater is approximately 4.0 % by mass dissolved ions. about 85% of the mass of the dissolved ions is from NaCl.
a) calculate the mass percent of NaCl in seawter.
b) calculate the mass percent of Na+ ions and of Cl- ions in seawater.
c) calculate the molarity of NaCl in seawater at 15 Celcius degree ( d of seawater at 15 *C = 1.035 g/ml)

amu - Atomic mass units.

(a)
4% = 0∙04
85% = 0∙85
Mass % of NaCl = (0∙04)(0∙85)(100%) = 3∙4%

(b)
Na = 23 amu.
Cl = 35∙5 amu.
Total mass of mole of NaCl = 23 + 35∙5 = 58∙5 amu.
For Na: 23/58∙5 x 3∙4% = 1∙3367...%
For Cl: 35∙5/58∙5 x 3∙4% = 2∙0632...%

(c)
1∙035 g/ml
= 1035 g/L
3∙4% of 1035 g/L = 35∙19 g/L
1 Mole of NaCl = 58∙5g
Molarity of NaCl = 35∙19 / 58∙5 = 0∙6015...Moles.

a) 3.4% NaCl
Solution: 4.0% * 0.85 = 3.4%

b) 1.34% Na+, 2.06% Cl+
Solution: get the mass ratio of each atom from its molecular mass, and then multiply this to mass percent of NaCl.
For Na+, (23/58.5)*3.4% = 1.34%
For Cl-, (35.5/58.5)*3.4% = 2.06%

c) 0.601M
Solution: density times percent NaCl divided by molar mass of NaCl, and then convert mL to L. So,

(1.035 g/mL)* 0.034 * (1000mL/L) / (58.5 g/mol) = 0.601M
