Answer

See the answer below.

Work Step by Step

The number of moles of Na2NO3: $0.0512\ m=n/(500/1000\ kg)\rightarrow n=0.026\ mol$ The mass of Na2CO3 required: $0.026\ mol\times 107.98\ g/mol=2.76\ g$ The number of moles of water: $500\ g\div18.015\ g/mol=27.75\ mol$ Mole fraction of Na2CO3: $0.026\div(0.026+27.75)=0.00094$
