Answer: The molarity of NaCl solution is 0.0489 M
Explanation:
Molarity is defined as the amount of solute expressed in the number of moles present per liter of solution. The units of molarity are mol/L. The formula used to calculate molarity:
[tex]\text{Molarity of solution}=\frac{\text{Given mass of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of solute}\times \text{Volume of solution (mL)}}[/tex] .....(1)
We are given:
Given mass of NaCl = 0.8 g
Molar mass of NaCl = 58.44 g/mol
Volume of the solution = 280 mL
Putting values in equation 1, we get:
[tex]\text{Molarity of solution}=\frac{0.8\times 1000}{58.44\times 280}\\\\\text{Molarity of solution}=0.0489M[/tex]
Hence, the molarity of NaCl solution is 0.0489 M
