1. Determine the molar mass of potassium chloride (KCl):
* Potassium (K) has a molar mass of 39.10 g/mol
* Chlorine (Cl) has a molar mass of 35.45 g/mol
* Molar mass of KCl = 39.10 g/mol + 35.45 g/mol = 74.55 g/mol
2. Convert the mass of KCl to moles:
* Moles of KCl = (mass of KCl) / (molar mass of KCl)
* Moles of KCl = 93.5 g / 74.55 g/mol = 1.25 mol
3. Convert the volume of the solution to liters:
* Volume of solution = 500 ml = 0.5 L
4. Calculate the molarity (M):
* Molarity (M) = (moles of solute) / (volume of solution in liters)
* Molarity (M) = 1.25 mol / 0.5 L = 2.5 M
Therefore, the molarity of the potassium chloride solution is 2.5 M.
