[NaCl] 0.5molL1

Explanation:

Solution 1, moles of NaCl = 204×103L×0.760molL1=0.155mol.

Solution 2, moles of NaCl = 417×103L×0.430molL1=0.179mol.

Since we must consider the volumes to be additive when these solutions are mixed, we have the following concentration with respect to NaCl.

Concentration = (0.155+0.179)mol(204+417)×103L

0.5molL1 with respect to NaCl.
