Question:

Calculate the molality of a solution prepared by dissolving 12.5 grams of NaCl in 250.0 grams of water. Assume the density of the final solution is 1.03 g/mL.

Molarity of a Solution:

Suppose the solute mole (n) is present in V liters of a solution; we determine the molarity using the below equation.

{eq}M\left( {{\rm{Molarity}}} \right) = \dfrac{{n\left( {{\rm{moles}}} \right)}}{{V\left( {{\rm{Liter}}} \right)}} {/eq}

The solute moles are defined using the solute mass and its molar mass.

The molarity denotes the molar concentration of a solute.
