a. ~~183mla.183ml
b. ~~260gb.260g

Explanation:

A. Assuming that the concentration of the solution presented is in %w/w; thus the formula shown below is applicable to solve this problem.

%solution(w/w)=("mass solute"(m))/("mass solution"(m_s))%solution(ww)=mass solute(m)mass solution(ms)
where:

% solution =17%%solution=17%
"mass solute"=35gNaClmass solute=35gNaCl
rho " solution"=(1.13g)/(cm^3)ρ solution=1.13gcm3

Now, plug in given data to its respective variable to get the intermediate value needed to solve the prescribed problem. Rearrange formula as needed to isolate the required variable; that is,

%solution(w/w)=m/m_s%solution(ww)=mms
m_s=(m)/(%solution)ms=m%solution
m_s=(35g)/(0.17)ms=35g0.17
m_s=205.8824gms=205.8824g

Knowing the m_sms, the total volume of the solution that also contained the given mass of the solute can be calculated through the density formula; thus,

rho_s=m_s/V_sρs=msVs
where:

rho_s="density of the solution"ρs=density of the solution
m_s="mass of the solution"ms=mass of the solution
V_s="volume of the solution"Vs=volume of the solution

V_s=m_s/rho_sVs=msρs
V_s=(205.8824cancel(g))/((1.13cancel(g))/(ml))
V_s~~183ml

B. Assuming that the concentration of the solution presented is again in %w/w; thus the formula shown below is applicable to solve this problem.

%solution(w/w)=("mass solute"(m))/("mass solution"(m_s))
where:

% solution =58%
"mass solute"=150g H_2SO_4

Now, plug in given data to its respective variable to get the intermediate value needed to solve the prescribed problem. Rearrange formula as needed to isolate the required variable; that is,

%solution(w/w)=m/m_s
m_s=(m)/(%solution)
m_s=(150g)/(0.58)
m_s=260g
