Q: A student mixes 0.5 mol of NaCl in 1.0 L of water. What is the molarity of the resulting solution?

$$M = \frac{0.5\,\text{mol}}{1.0\,\text{L}} = 0.5\,\text{M}$$

Q: A student needs to calculate the number of moles in 18 grams of water ($$H_2O). $$What is the correct calculation?

$$\text{Moles} = \frac{18\,\text{g}}{18\,\text{g/mol}} = 1\,\text{mol}$$

Q: A student is preparing a solution and needs to use the concept of stoichiometry. Which equation should they use to relate moles, mass, and molar mass?

$$\text{Moles} = \frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Molar Mass}}$$
