Answer:


0.44\text{ M}

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to get the molarity of the solution

Mathematically, we have that calculated as:


\begin{gathered} molarity\text{ = }\frac{number\text{ of moles}}{volume} \\ \\ number\text{ of moles = }\frac{mass}{molar\text{ mass}} \end{gathered}

We start by getting the number of moles

We can get that by dividing the mass by the molar mass

The molar mass of NaCl is 58.44 g/mol

The number of moles is thus:


number\text{ of moles = }(90)/(58.44)\text{ = 1.54 mole}

To get the molarity, we have it that:


molarity\text{ = }(1.54)/(3.5)\text{ = 0.44 M}
