Molarity = 0.1540.154MM

Explanation:

mass of KClKCl = 4.884.88gg
molar mass of KClKCl = 74.5574.55 gg/molmol
no. of moles = 4.884.88g/74.5574.55 gg/molmol = 0.06540.0654 moles
volume of solution = 423 ml423ml = 0.423L0.423L
Molarity = no. of moles/volume of solution
Molarity = 0.06540.0654 moles/0.423L0.423L
Molarity = 0.1540.154MM

We take the quotient..."molarity"="moles of solute"/"volume of solution"molarity=moles of solutevolume of solution

Explanation:

Here........... "Molarity"=(underbrace((4.88*g)/(74.55*g*mol^-1))_"moles of solute")/underbrace(423*mLxx10^-3L*mL^-1)_"volume of solution"=0.155*mol*L^-1

And note that the quotient automatically gives the units required for "concentration".
