Well "concentration"concentration == "Moles of solute"/"Volume of solution"Moles of soluteVolume of solution

Explanation:

And urea O=C(NH_2)_2O=C(NH2)2 has a molar mass of 60.06*g*mol^-160.06gmol1.

And thus [O=C(NH_2)_2]=((6*g)/(60.06*g*mol^-1))/(1*L)=0.010*mol*L^-1[O=C(NH2)2]=6g60.06gmol11L=0.010molL1.

I presume the solvent is water......in which it has some considerable solubility.
