Answer:

3M

Step-by-step explanation:

Molarity is one of the measures of the molar concentration of a solution, which can be calculated by using the formula below:

Molarity = number of moles ÷ volume

From the information given in this question, 4 liters of a solution contains 12 moles of sugar. This means that n = 12mol and V = 4L

Molarity = n/V

Molarity = 12/4

Molarity = 3

Hence, the molarity of the sugar solution is 3mol/L or 3M
