"Molarity"Molarity == "Moles of solute"/"Volume of solution"Moles of soluteVolume of solution

Explanation:

We get an answer with units mol*L^-1molL1.

"Moles of phosphoric acid "(H_3PO_4)Moles of phosphoric acid (H3PO4) == (49.0*g)/(97.99*g*mol^-1)49.0g97.99gmol1 == 0.5*mol0.5mol.

"Molarity"Molarity == (0.50*mol)/(2000*cm^3xx10^-3cm^3*L^-1)0.50mol2000cm3×103cm3L1

== 0.25*mol*L^-10.25molL1 with respect to H_3PO_4H3PO4.
