  • Calculate Molarity: Step-by-Step Guide with NaCl Example
    Here's how to calculate the molarity of a solution:

    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.
