1. Calculate the moles of NaCl in each solution:
* Solution 1: (0.400 L) * (0.420 mol/L) = 0.168 mol NaCl
* Solution 2: (0.110 L) * (0.240 mol/L) = 0.0264 mol NaCl
2. Calculate the total moles of NaCl:
* Total moles = 0.168 mol + 0.0264 mol = 0.1944 mol NaCl
3. Calculate the total volume of the final solution:
* Total volume = 0.400 L + 0.110 L = 0.510 L
4. Calculate the final molarity:
* Final molarity = (Total moles of NaCl) / (Total volume of solution)
* Final molarity = (0.1944 mol) / (0.510 L) = 0.381 M
Therefore, the molarity of the final solution is 0.381 M.
