1.49 M

Explanation:

Number of moles of sodium nitrate:
#n = m/(MW) = 11.8/85 = 0.13882 mol#

#(0.13882 mol)/ (93.9 cancel (mL)) times (1000 cancel(mL)) /(1 L) = 1.49 (mol)/L#

#"Molarity"=1.48*mol*L^-1...................#

Explanation:

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

For this problem.......

#"Molarity"=((11.8*cancelg)/(84.99*cancelg*mol^-1))/(93.9*cancel(mL)xx10^-3*L*cancel(mL^-1))#

#=??*mol*L^-1#...........
