Na - 23g/mol
Cl - 35.5g/mol
NaCl - 58.5 g/mol
n = 112/58.5
n = 1.91 mol of NaCl in 112 g
M= n/V
M=1.91/6
M=0.32 mol/L

asked 05/09/22What is the molarity of a solution that contains 112 g of NaCl in 6 L of solution?
______M
Na - 23g/mol
Cl - 35.5g/mol
NaCl - 58.5 g/mol
n = 112/58.5
n = 1.91 mol of NaCl in 112 g
M= n/V
M=1.91/6
M=0.32 mol/L

You need to use the molar mass of NaCl to determine how many moles there are in 112g.
Looking up Na on the periodic table, it has a molar mass of 22.99 g/mol. Looking up Cl, it has a molar mass of 35.45 g/mol. So NaCl has a molar mass of 22.99 + 35.45 = 58.44 g/mol.
Dividing 112 g by 58.44 g/mol results in 1.916 moles
The molarity is the number of moles per liter so 1.916/6 = 0.3 M
