What are your answer choices? Scientists express the weight in AMU’s so that they can easily think about the weight of the atom. If it is expressed in grams, they’re constantly dealing with a weight that’s around 10^-24 grams, which is hard to deal with.
The answer is Solute. The solution is the whole thing. The solvent is the major component (the liquid doing the dissolving).

Answer:
1. mol/L
2. 0.120 M
Explanation:
1. Molarity is equal to the moles of solute divided by the liters of solution. The units of molarity are mol/L.
2.
Step 1: Given data
- Mass of sodium chloride (solute): 5.25 g
- Volume of solution (V): 750.0 mL = 0.7500 L
Step 2: Calculate the moles of solute (n)
The molar mass of NaCl is 58.44 g/mol.
n = 5.25 g × 1 mol/58.44 g = 0.0898 mol
Step 3: Determine the molarity of the solution
We will use the definition of molarity
M = n/V
M = 0.0898 mol / 0.7500 L = 0.120 M
