Answer:

0.058M is molarity of the solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Molarity is defined as the ratio between the moles of solute (In this case, MgSO₄) and the liters of solution.

In the problem:

Moles MgSO₄: 0.32 moles

Liters solution: 5.5L

Molarity is:

0.32 moles / 5.5L =

0.058M is molarity of the solution
