\huge \underbrace \mathfrak{Answer}

0.17 mol/l

Step-by-step explanation:

⠀⠀⠀⠀▨ Note

  • What is molarity?

Molarity is the amount of moles of component present in certain volume of solution.

  • What is mole?

Mole is a unit in chemistry i.e. 6.022×10²³ ions, atoms or molecules present in the substance.

⠀⠀⠀⠀● Solution

Weight of NaCl(m) = 4.865 grams

Volume(V) = 500ml = 0.5 liters

1 mole of NaCl = 58g

So 4.865g of NaCl(n)


= \sf (4.865)/(58) = 0.084 \: moles

While


\frak{molarity = (no \: of \: moles)/(volume) }

Substituting the required values


\sf \implies molarity = (n)/(V) \\ \\ \sf \implies molarity = (0.084)/(0.5) \\ \\ \ \boxed{ \tt{ \implies molarity = 0.17 \: mol \: {l}^( - 1) }}
