$"Concentration"$ $=$ $("Moles of solute")/("Volume of solution")$

If we have $1.00$ $kg$ of water, there is $1.00$ $L$ of water. (Note that volume would not change substantially upon dissolution of the salt).

Thus, $"Molarity"$ $=$ $((174*cancelg)/(58.44*cancelg*mol^-1))/(1.00*L)$ $~~$ $3$ $mol*L^-1$
