What is the molarity of a solution containing 58.5 g of NaCl in 1 L of solution? (MW NaCl = 58.5 g/mol)

A 0.5 M
B 1.0 M
C 2.0 M
D 0.1 M

✓ Correct Answer: Option B

Moles = mass/MW = 58.5/58.5 = 1 mol. Molarity = moles/liters = 1/1 = 1.0 M.

💡 Why is B) the correct answer?

The correct answer to the question "What is the molarity of a solution containing 58.5 g of NaCl in 1 L of solution? (MW NaCl = 58.5 g/mol)" is Option B: 1.0 M.

The other options — A) 0.5 M, C) 2.0 M, D) 0.1 M — are incorrect for this Everyday Science question. As explained above: Moles = mass/MW = 58.5/58.5 = 1 mol. Molarity = moles/liters = 1/1 = 1.0 M.
