If you dissolve 8.50 g of ca(no3)2 in 755 ml of distilled water what is the concentration in molarity of the calcium nitrate solution

molarity is defined as the number of moles of solute in 1 L of solution
the mass of Ca(NO₃)₂ present - 8.50 g
therefore number of moles of Ca(NO₃)₂ - 8.50 g / 164 g/mol = 0.0518 mol
the volume of solution prepared is 755 mL
therefore if there are 0.0518 mol in 755 mL
then in 1000 mL the number of moles - 0.0518 mol / 0.755 L
molarity is therefore - 0.0686 M
