0.375 molar aqueous solution would contain 0.375 moles of CH_{3}COONa dissolved in 1000mL of solvent.

So, we have to calculate for 500mL solution of CH_{3}COONa.

Therefore the number of moles of sodium acetate in 500mL will be:

= \frac{0.375}{1000}\times 500

=0.1875\ mole

Given Molar mass of sodium acetate: 82.0245\ g\ mol^{-1}

So, the required mass of sodium acetate = (82.0245\ g\ mol^{-1})\times (0.1875\ mole)

= 15.38\ grams
