Explanation:
Molarity is defined as the number of moles present in a liter of volume.
Mathematically, Molarity = [tex]\frac{\text{number of moles}}{volume}[/tex]
Also, we know that number of moles equal mass divided by molar mass.
Hence, we will calculate the number of moles of chlorine as follows.
No. of moles = [tex]\frac{mass}{\text{molar mass}}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{5.77 g}{35.45 g/mol}[/tex]
= 0.162 mol
Therefore, molarity of the given solution will be calculated as follows.
Molarity = [tex]\frac{\text{number of moles}}{volume}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{0.162 mol}{1 L}[/tex]
= 0.162 M
Thus, we can conclude that the molarity of given solution is 0.162 M.
