1. Find the molar mass of NaCl:
* Sodium (Na) has a molar mass of 22.99 g/mol
* Chlorine (Cl) has a molar mass of 35.45 g/mol
* Molar mass of NaCl = 22.99 g/mol + 35.45 g/mol = 58.44 g/mol
2. Calculate the number of moles of NaCl:
* Moles = mass / molar mass
* Moles = 76 g / 58.44 g/mol = 1.30 mol
3. Calculate the molarity:
* Molarity (M) = moles of solute / liters of solution
* Molarity = 1.30 mol / 1 L = 1.30 M
Therefore, the molarity of the solution is 1.30 M.
