To find the amount of NaCl in the solution, we need to convert the percentage concentration into grams and then multiply by the volume of the solution.

The percentage concentration is given as 2.0% (m/v), which means 2.0 grams of NaCl is present in 100 mL of solution.

To find the grams of NaCl in 300 mL of solution, we can use a proportion:

2 g NaCl /100 mL = x g NaCl /300 mL

Cross-multiplying, we have:

100 mL * x g NaCl = 2 g NaCl * 300 mL

x g NaCl = (2 g NaCl * 300 mL) / 100 mL

x g NaCl = 6 g NaCl

Therefore, there are 6 grams of NaCl in 300 mL of the 2.0% NaCl solution.
