Answer: 55.5 M.
- A 1 M
- B 18 M
- C 100 M
- D 55.5 M
Correct answer: D. 55.5 M
Explanation: 1 L of water = 1000 g; moles = 1000/18 = 55.5 mol, so the molarity of pure water is about 55.5 M.
Mass connects to moles via molar mass, and moles connect to particle count via Avogadro's number or to gas volume via the 22.4 L/mol rule at STP.
Concept context
The mole is chemistry's counting unit. Learn to relate mass, volume, and number of particles using Avogadro's number and molar mass, the foundation of all stoichiometry and reaction calculations.
