Questions: b. If this mass were dissolved in 1.00 L of water, what would the molarity of the solution be?

Determine the molarity of the solution.

Identify the mass of the solute.

The problem does not specify the mass of the solute. To proceed, we need the mass of the solute in grams.

Convert mass to moles.

To find the number of moles, use the formula:

\[ \text{moles} = \frac{\text{mass (g)}}{\text{molar mass (g/mol)}} \]

The molar mass of the solute must be known to perform this calculation.

Calculate molarity.

Molarity (\(M\)) is calculated using the formula:

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

Given that the volume of the solution is 1.00 L, the molarity is equal to the number of moles of solute.

\(\boxed{\text{Molarity} = \frac{\text{moles of solute}}{1.00 \, \text{L}}}\)

The molarity of the solution is calculated by dividing the number of moles of solute by the volume of the solution in liters. The specific molarity cannot be determined without knowing the mass and molar mass of the solute.
