Question
What NaCI concentration results when 304 mL of a 0.600 M NaCI solution is mixed with 467 mL of a 0.260 M NaCI solution?
### Problem Statement
What NaCl concentration results when 304 mL of a 0.600 M NaCl solution is mixed with 467 mL of a 0.260 M NaCl solution?

### Solution
To find the resulting concentration of the mixed NaCl solution, follow these steps:

1. **Calculate the total moles of NaCl** in each solution before mixing:

   - Solution 1: \( \text{Volume} = 0.304 \, \text{L}, \, \text{Concentration} = 0.600 \, \text{M} \)
     \[
     \text{Moles of NaCl in Solution 1} = \text{Volume} \times \text{Concentration} = 0.304 \times 0.600 = 0.1824 \, \text{moles}
     \]

   - Solution 2: \( \text{Volume} = 0.467 \, \text{L}, \, \text{Concentration} = 0.260 \, \text{M} \)
     \[
     \text{Moles of NaCl in Solution 2} = \text{Volume} \times \text{Concentration} = 0.467 \times 0.260 = 0.12142 \, \text{moles}
     \]

2. **Calculate the total moles of NaCl** after mixing:
   \[
   \text{Total Moles of NaCl} = 0.1824 + 0.12142 = 0.30382 \, \text{moles}
   \]

3. **Calculate the total volume** of the mixed solution:
   \[
   \text{Total Volume} = 0.304 \, \text{L} + 0.467 \, \text{L} = 0.771 \, \text{L}
   \]

4. **Determine the concentration** of the mixed solution:
   \[
   \text{Resulting Concentration} = \frac{\text{Total Moles of NaCl}}{\text{Total Volume}} = \frac{0.30382}{0.771} \approx 0.394 \, \text{M}
   \]

### Final Answer
- **Concentration**: \(\approx 0.394 \,
