Hello there!

Greetings!

3 Molar solution means  there are 3 moles of  Na Cl salt in 1 Liter.  Molecular weight of Na Cl = 58.44.    Hence, there are 3 * 58.44 gms in 1 Litre of water.


Density = mass/volume

Mass of 1 litre of solution = 1.25 gms/ml * 1000 ml = 1, 250 gms

V = volume of water added to make the solution


175.32 gms + 1 gm /ml * V = 1, 250 gm

=> V =  1, 074.68 ml


So 1,074.68 ml or 1, 074.68 gms of water is mixed with 3 moles of Na Cl to make the 3 M solution.

Molality = mass of solute in number of moles / mass of solvent in kg

=  3 / 1.07468 kg

=  2.7915  Molal


Thankyou
