Expert Solution
Step 1

Introduction 

Sodium chloride generally recognized as salt (although sea salt also carries different chemical salts), is an ionic compound with the chemical formula NaCl.

Given

Flow rate of NaCl in river 1 M1 = is 10m3/sConcentration  of NaCl in river 1 C1=150mg/LFow rate ofNaCl in river 2  M2= 5m3/s concentration  of NaCl in river 2 C2 = 100mg/L
