Question: A solution is prepared by dissolving 58.5 g of NaCl in 1 L of water. What is the molarity of the solution? (Molar mass of NaCl = 58.5 g/mol)
Options:
Correct Answer: 1 M
Solution:
Moles of NaCl = 58.5 g / 58.5 g/mol = 1 mole. Molarity = moles of solute / liters of solution = 1 mole / 1 L = 1 M.
