M(NaCl)=23+35=58g/molM(NaCl)=23+35=58 g/mol

n(NaCl)=256/58=4.4moln(NaCl)=256/58=4.4 mol

M(H2O)=2(1)+16=18g/molM(H_2O)=2(1)+16=18 g/mol

n(H2O)=176/18=9.8moln(H_2O)=176/18=9.8 mol

w(NaCl)=n(NaCl)/(n(NaCl)+n(H2O))=4.4/(4.4+9.8)=0.31w(NaCl)=n(NaCl)/(n(NaCl)+n(H_2O))=4.4/(4.4+9.8)=0.31

w(H2O)=n(H2O)/(n(NaCl)+n(H2O))=9.8/(4.4+9.8)=0.69w(H_2O)=n(H_2O)/(n(NaCl)+n(H_2O))=9.8/(4.4+9.8)=0.69
