Answer:

0.605 M

Step-by-step explanation:

What is the molarity of a 750 milliliters solution containing 54.0 grams of KBr?

Step 1: Given data

  • Mass of KBr (solute): 54.0 g
  • Volume of solution: 750 mL (0.750 L)

Step 2: Calculate the moles corresponding to 54.0 g of KBr

The molar mass of KBr is 119.00 g/mol.

54.0 g × 1 mol/119.00 g = 0.454 mol

Step 3: Calculate the molarity of the solution

Molarity is equal to the moles of solute divided by the liters of solution.

M = 0.454 mol / 0.750 L = 0.605 M
