Answer:
2.74 M
Explanation:
Given data:
Mass of sodium chloride = 80.0 g
Volume of water = 500.0 mL
Molarity of solution = ?
Solution:
Molarity is used to describe the concentration of solution. It tells how many moles are dissolve in per litter of solution.
Formula:
Molarity = number of moles of solute / L of solution
Now we will convert the mL into L.
500.0 mL× 1 L /1000 mL = 0.5 L
In next step we will calculate the number of moles of sodium chloride.
Number of moles = mass/molar mass
Number of moles = 80.0 g/ 58.4 g/mol
Number of moles = 1.37 mol
Molarity:
M = 1.37 mol/ 0.5 L
M = 2.74 M
