Given information:

Mass of NaCl (m) = 87.75 g

Volume of solution (V) = 500 ml = 0.5 L

Molar mass of NaCl (M) = 58.44 g/mol

To determine:

The molarity of NaCl solution

Explanation:

Molarity is defined as the number of moles of solute(n) dissolved per liter of solution (V)

i.e. M = moles of solute/liters of solution = n/V

Moles of solute (n) = mass of solute (m)/molar mass (M)

moles of NaCl = 87.75 g/58.55 g.mol-1 = 1.499 moles

Therefore,

Molarity of NaCl = 1.499 moles/0.5 L = 2.998 moles/lit ≅ 3 M

Ans: (D)
