A solution is made by dissolving 0.565 g of potassium nitrate in enough water to make up 250. mL of solution. What is the molarity of this solution?

Please explain and show work.

Molar mass of Potassium Nitrate:-


\\ \large\sf\longmapsto KNO_3


\\ \large\sf\longmapsto 39u+14u+3(16u)


\\ \large\sf\longmapsto 53u+48u


\\ \large\sf\longmapsto 101u


\\ \large\sf\longmapsto 101g/mol

Now


\boxed{\sf No\:of\:moles=(Given\:mass)/(Molar\:mass)}


\\ \large\sf\longmapsto No\:of\:moles=(0.565)/(101)


\\ \large\sf\longmapsto No\:of\:moles=0.005mol

We know


\boxed{\sf Molarity=(Moles\:of\:solute)/(Vol\:of\:Solution\:in\:L)}


\\ \large\sf\longmapsto Molarity=(0.005)/((250)/(1000)L)


\\ \large\sf\longmapsto Molarity=(0.005)/(0.250)


\\ \large\sf\longmapsto Molarity=0.02M
