1. Find the molar mass of NaCl:
* Na (Sodium) has a molar mass of 22.99 g/mol
* Cl (Chlorine) 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 of NaCl = 58 g / 58.44 g/mol = 0.996 mol
3. Calculate the molarity:
* Molarity (M) = Moles of solute / Liters of solution
* Molarity of NaCl = 0.996 mol / 1.0 L = 0.996 M
Therefore, the molarity of the NaCl solution is approximately 0.996 M.
