0.56 mol/L or 0.56 M
Explanation:
To find molarity, we'll use this formula:
We already have the volume, but we'll need to find the moles of solute (NaOH). From the given mass, we'll need to find the moles of NaOH using this:
Plugging in the moles to the molarity formula:
Either unit for molarity will be fine.
