A)0.100
B)1.00
C)0.0250
D)0.400

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The molarity of a solution is calculated by dividing the moles of solute by the liters of solution. The molar mass of NaCl is approximately 58.44 g/mol. Therefore, 5.84 grams of NaCl is equivalent to 0.1 moles (5.84 g / 58.44 g/mol = 0.1 mol). Since the solution's final volume is 1.00 L, the molarity is 0.1 moles per liter, or 0.100 M.
