Answer: 1.418 M

Step-by-step explanation:

molarity = moles of solute/liters of solution or
M=(mol)/(L)

first we have to find our moles of solute (mol), which you can find by dividing the mass of solute by molar mass of solute

mass of solute: 135 g

molar mass of solute: 95.21 g/mol

let's plug it in:


(135 g)/(95.21 g/mol) = 1.418 mol

next, we plug it into our original equation:


(1.418 mol)/(1.0 L) = 1.418 M
