1. Convert grams of NaCl to moles:
* 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 + 35.45 = 58.44 g/mol
* Calculate the moles of NaCl:
* moles = mass / molar mass
* moles = 2.60 g / 58.44 g/mol = 0.0445 mol
2. Convert milliliters (mL) to liters (L):
* 35 mL = 0.035 L
3. Calculate molarity:
* Molarity (M) = moles of solute / liters of solution
* M = 0.0445 mol / 0.035 L = 1.27 M
Therefore, the molarity of the NaCl solution is 1.27 M.
