Answer:
0.702M
Step-by-step explanation:
Molarity of a solution, which refers to the molar concentration of that solution can be calculated thus;
Molarity = number of moles (n) ÷ volume (V)
Firstly, we convert 18.5 grams of NaCl to moles using the formula; mole = mass/molar mass
molar mass of NaCl = 23 + 35.5 = 58.5g/mol
mole = 18.5/58.5
mole = 0.32moles
Volume of water (V) = 450mL = 450/1000 = 0.450L
Molarity = n/V
Molarity = 0.32/0.450
Molarity = 0.702M
