What is the "molar concentration" of a mass of 21.9*g mass of "potassium chloride" dissolved in 869*mL of solution?

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

Explanation:

And so we just have to plug the given numbers in, knowing that "potassium chloride" has a molar mass of 74.55*g*mol^-1.

"Molarity" = ((21.9*g)/(74.55*g*mol^-1))/(0.869*L)~=0.3*mol*L^-1.

Note that 1*mL=10^-3L; equivalently, 1000*mL-=1.000*L. What are the concentrations with respect to K^(+)(aq) and Cl^(-)(aq)?
