Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The molarity of a solution is calculated by dividing the number of moles of solute by the volume of the solution in liters. The molecular formula given, "NH₃," seems to be a typographical error or a non-standard representation. Assuming the intended compound is NH3 (ammonia), which has a molar mass of approximately 17 g/mol (N = 14 g/mol + 3*H = 3 g/mol), 17 g of NH3 is equivalent to 1 mole. Therefore, the molarity of the solution is 1 mole / 0.50 L = 2.0 M.
