To find molarity, first calculate the mass of CdSO4 in 100 g of solution (10 g), then convert to moles (10 g / 208.46 g/mol). Next, find the volume of the solution using its density (100 g / 1.10 g/mL = 90.91 mL = 0.09091 L). Finally, divide moles by volume in liters to get molarity: (10 g / 208.46 g/mol) / 0.09091 L = 0.528 M.
