Answer

Molarity (C) = 0.41 mol/L

Step-by-step explanation

Given:

Number of moles = 3.5 moles

Volume = 8.50 L

Required: Molarity of the solution

Solution

To solve for molarity, you can use the following equation


C\text{ = }(n)/(V)

Where C is the concentration or molarity, n is the number of moles and V is the volume of the solution.

C = 3.5 mol/8.50 L

C = 0.41 mol/L
