Answer:
200/3 M which is approximately equal to 66.6667 M

Step-by-step explanation:
Molarity is defined as the number of moles of solute per liter of solution.

It can be calculated as follows:

molarity = (number of moles of solute)/(liters of solution)

We are given that:
number of moles of solute = 8 moles
volume of solution = 120 ml = 0.12 liters

Substitute with the givens in the above equation to get the molarity as follows:
molarity =
(8)/(0.12) = (200)/(3) = 66.6667 M

Hope this helps :)
