What is the molarity of a solution that contains 0.75 moles of solute in a 1.5 L of solution?
Molarity is defined as the number of moles of solute per liter of solution. We can calculate it using this formula.
molarity = moles of solute/volume of solution in L
We already know the number of moles of solute and the volume of solution.
moles of solute = 0.75 moles
volume of solution in L = 1.5 L
We can replace those values to get the answer to our problem.
molarity = moles of solute/volume of solution in L
molarity = 0.75 moles/(1.5 L)
molarity = 0.5 M
Answer: the molarity of the solution is 0.50 M
