Solution Steps

Step 1: Understand the Definition of Molarity

Molarity is defined as the number of moles of solute divided by the volume of the solution in liters. The formula for molarity (\(M\)) is:

\[ M = \frac{\text{moles of solute}}{\text{volume of solution in liters}} \]

Step 2: Identify the Given Values

From the problem, we are given:

  • Moles of sodium chloride (\(\text{NaCl}\)) = 3.8 moles
  • Volume of the solution = 2.5 liters
Step 3: Calculate the Molarity

Substitute the given values into the molarity formula:

\[ M = \frac{3.8 \, \text{moles}}{2.5 \, \text{L}} \]

Step 4: Perform the Calculation

Calculate the molarity:

\[ M = 1.52 \, \text{mol/L} \]

Final Answer

The molarity of the solution is \(\boxed{1.52 \, \text{mol/L}}\).
