Solution

To calculate the molarity, you need to know the number of moles of solute (in this case, NaCl) and the volume of the solvent (water) in liters.

Step 1: Calculate the number of moles of NaCl. You can do this by dividing the mass of the NaCl by its molar mass.

Number of moles = mass (g) / molar mass (g/mole) = 25.0 g / 58.4 g/mole = 0.428 moles

Step 2: Convert the volume of water from mL to L. 1 L = 1000 mL, so 50.0 mL = 0.050 L

Step 3: Calculate the molarity. Molarity (M) = moles of solute / liters of solvent = 0.428 moles / 0.050 L = 8.56 M

So, the resulting molarity of the solution is 8.56 M.
