Question

2 moles of sodium chloride are dissolved in 8 liters of water. What is its molarity (M) ?

Answer 1

Answer:

0.25M

Explanation:

Since molarity is defined as the amount of substance in 1 liter of a solution, and amount in chemistry refers to the number of moles, molarity can be found using the equation below:

Molarity= number of moles ÷ volume in liters

Given: number of moles= 2

Volume= 8L

∴ Molarity of NaCl

= 2 ÷8

= 0.25M
