Answer:
1.514 moles
Explanation:
For this problem you want to use dimensional analysis and cancel out your molecules of sugar and be left with moles of sugar. We know that 1 mole (of anything) = 6.022 x 10 ^ 23 molecules, so we should use that conversion to help us. Start with 9.12 x 10 ^23 molecules and divide by 6.022 x 10 ^ 23 molecules, and you will be left with moles.
Hope this helps!
Molarity = moles of solute/volume of solution in liters.
The solute here is NaCl, of which we have 46.5 g. To calculate the molarity of an NaCl solution, we need to know the number of moles of NaCl. To convert from grams to moles, we divide the mass by the molar mass of NaCl. The molar mass of NaCl is the sum of the atomic masses of Na and Cl: 23 amu + 35 amu = 58 amu. For our purposes, we can regard amu as equivalent to grams/mole.
(46.5 g)/(58 g/mol) = 0.8017 moles NaCl.
Now that we know both the number of moles of our NaCl solute and the volume of the solution, we can calculate the molarity:
(0.8017 moles NaCl)/(2.2 L) = 0.364 M.
