Answer:

0.016 M

Step-by-step explanation:

Molarity refers to the molar concentration of a solution and it can be calculated using the formula below:

Molarity (M) = number of moles (n) ÷ volume (V)

According to this question, the mass of KCl was given to be 0.72 grams and the volume of water as 600 mL.

Using mole = mass/molar mass to convert mass of KCl to moles

Molar mass of KCl = 39 + 35.5 = 74.5g/mol

mole = 0.72g ÷ 74.5g/mol

mole = 0.00966mol

Volume of water = 600mL = 600/1000 = 0.600L

Molarity, M = 0.00966 ÷ 0.600

Molarity of KCl solution = 0.016 M
