Answer:
The molarity of a solution is 2.5 M
Step-by-step explanation:
Molarity is a concentration unit that describes how much of a solution is dissolved in solution.
Molarity of a solution can found by using the formula,
Molarity (M) = (moles of solute)/(Liters of Solution).
Given, mass of Sodium = 114.95 grams.
Volume of water = 2 L.
Here, Sodium is solute as it is dissolved in water, which is the solvent.
Moles of Sodium(solute) can be found by using the formula,
Number of Moles = mass/Molecular weight.
mass of Sodium = 114.95 grams.
Molecular weight = 22.989 grams
Number of Moles of Sodium(solute) =114.95/22.989 = 5.
Substituting the values in the formula, we get,
M = 5/2 = 2.5 M
