Understanding Molarity

Molarity (M) is a measure of concentration that tells you the number of moles of solute dissolved in one liter of solution.

Formula:

Molarity (M) = Moles of solute / Liters of solution

Applying the Formula

1. Identify the solute and solvent:

* Solute: NaCl (sodium chloride)

* Solvent: Water (H₂O)

2. Given information:

* Moles of NaCl: 6 moles

* Liters of solution: 2 L (assuming the volume of the solution is approximately the same as the volume of the water)

3. Calculate the molarity:

* Molarity (M) = 6 moles / 2 L

* Molarity (M) = 3 M

Therefore, the molarity of the solution is 3 M.
