Answer:

Explanation:
There are two heat transfers involved: the heat lost by the metal block and the heat gained by the water.
According to the Law of Conservation of Energy, energy can neither be destroyed nor created, so the sum of these terms must be zero.
Let the metal be Component 1 and the water be Component 2.
Data:
For the metal:

For the water:

The correct answer is 0.014467 M.
Molarity is defined as the number of moles present in a liter solution, that is, number of moles / liter solution.
The molar mass of sodium (Na) is 23.0 g/mol
Thus, 1 mole of Na contains 23.0 g
Now, x moles of Na contains 0.50 g
Moles = 0.50 × 1 / 23.0
Moles = 0.50 / 23.0
= 0.0217 moles of Na
Molarity = Number of moles / liters of solution
= 0.0217 / 1.5
= 0.014467 M
