1. Convert grams of KCl to moles:
* Find the molar mass of KCl: K (39.10 g/mol) + Cl (35.45 g/mol) = 74.55 g/mol
* Divide the mass of KCl by its molar mass: 140 g / 74.55 g/mol = 1.87 mol KCl
2. Convert milliliters of water to liters:
* Divide the volume by 1000: 600 mL / 1000 mL/L = 0.600 L
3. Calculate molarity:
* Molarity (M) = moles of solute / liters of solution
* M = 1.87 mol KCl / 0.600 L = 3.12 M
Therefore, the molarity of the KCl solution is 3.12 M.
