Suppose you have a sample of table salt (NaCl) that has a mass of 100.0 grams. If this amount of salt is added to a large beaker and filled with water until the total volume is 2 liters, what is the concentration of this solution in units of Molarity? Please do not include any units in your answer.
The molar mass of NaCl is 58.44 g/mol.
First, we need to calculate the number of moles in 100.0 grams of NaCl:
100.0 g / 58.44 g/mol = 1.71 mol
Next, we need to convert the volume of the solution from liters to milliliters:
2 liters = 2000 milliliters
Finally, we can calculate the molarity:
Molarity = moles of solute / volume of solution in liters
Molarity = 1.71 mol / 2.00 L = 0.855 M
