Answer #1

Molarity=\frac{moles}{volume (litre)}

% by mass of solution = 17 % i.e. 100 gram of solution contains 17 gram of sodium acetate.

Thus, volume of solution (100 grams) = \frac{mass}{density}=\frac{100}{1.09}=91.743ml = 0.0917 litre

Moles of sodium acetate (17 gm) = \frac{mass}{Molar mass}=\frac{17}{82}=0.207 moles

Thus, Molarity=\frac{moles}{volume (litre)}=\frac{0.207}{0.0917}=2.257 M

Answer is 2 i.e. 2.26 M
