Answer:
The molarity of the solution is
5.1 mol/L
.
The solution is said to be
5.1 molar
.
The shorthand way to indicate molarity is
5.1 M
, which is pronounced
5.1 molar
, and is how it is written on the label of its container.
Step-by-step explanation:
Molarity (M)
=
moles of solute
liters of solution
The volume of the solution is given in mL. The volume is required to be in liters, so
975 mL
must be converted to liters.
1 L=1000 mL
975
