Question

The molarity of an aqueous solution of NaCl is defined as the

(1) grams of NaCl per liter of water
(2) grams of NaCl per liter of solution
(3) moles of NaCl per liter of water
(4) moles of NaCl per liter of solution

Answer 1

Molarity = number of moles / volume in liters solution

Answer (4)

hope this helps!

Answer 2

The correct option is (4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Molarity (M) is generally defined as the number of moles of a solute per liter of the solution.

The formula for molarity (from the definition above) is

M = number of moles (n) ÷ volume (in liters or dm³)

The unit for molarity is mol/L or mol/dm³

From the above, it can be deduced that the molarity of an aqueous solution of common salt (NaCl) is the number of moles of NaCl per liter of the salt solution.
