\[Molarity = \frac{ Moles }{ Liter }\]

thank you @Photon336
OpenStudy (photon336):
okay so first step we need to find the molar mass HBr
OpenStudy (sammyalabamy):
80.912
OpenStudy (photon336):
okay so now we know the molar mass of Hbr and we know how many grams we have.
we need to find the number of moles like this..
\[52~grams~HBr*(\frac{ mole }{ 81grams }) = moles~HBr\]

0.6419
OpenStudy (photon336):
okay now we know 0.6419 moles of HCL
and our volume is in liters 0.25L
so now we have all we need to complete this.
\[\frac{ 0.6419~moles }{ 0.25~L } = Molarity \]

Thank you so much @Photon336
OpenStudy (photon336):
no problem you could round up to 2.6 mol/L or 2.6 M
M is the symbol for molarity btw
OpenStudy (photon336):
Just make sure that if you're given volume it is in liters.
