Answer

0.857 M

Work Step by Step

Let the volume of the solution be 1 L. $\text{Mass of the solution}=\text{Density}\times\text{Volume}$ $=1.007\, g/mL\times1000\, mL=1007\,g$ $\text{Mass of ascetic acid}=1007\,g\times\frac{5.11}{100}$ $=51.4577\, g$ $\text{Moles of ascetic acid}=\frac{51.4577\,g}{60.052\,g/mol}$ $=0.857\, mol$ $\text{Molarity}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution in L}}$ $=\frac{0.857\,mol}{1\,L}=0.857\,M$
