Calculate the mass of sodium acetate `(CH_(3)COONa)` required to make `500 mL` of `0.375` molar qqueous solution. Molar mass of sodium of acetate is `82.0245 g mol^(-1)`.

Explanation

To calculate the mass of sodium acetate (CH₃COONa) required to make a 500 mL of 0.375 M aqueous solution, we can follow these steps:

### Step 1: Convert the volume from mL to L
The volume of the solution is given as 500 mL. To convert this to liters, we use the conversion factor \(1 \text{ L} = 1000 \text{ mL}\).

\[ \text{Volume in L} = \frac{500 \text{ mL}}{1000 \text{ mL/L}} = 0.5 \text{ L} \]
