    M = molar mass Ca + 2 * (molar mass O) + 2 (molar mass H) = 40 g/mol + 2 (16 g/mol) + 2 (1 g/mol) = 74 g/mol

    n = (75.8 grams) (74 g/mol) ^-1

    = 1.024 moles

    M = (1.024 moles Ca (OH) 2) / (1.2 L)

    M = 0.854 M

    The molarity of the solution is calculated by dividing the number of moles of the solute, in moles, by the total volume of the solution, in liters.

    The molar mass of calcium hydroxide, Ca (OH) 2 is calculated below.

    m = molar mass Ca + 2 (molar mass O) + 2 (molar mass H)

    Substituting,

    m = 40 g/mol + 2 (16 g/mol) + 2 (1 g/mol)

    m = 74 g/mol

    To get the number of moles Ca (OH) 2 in 75.8 grams,

    n = (75.8 grams) (1 / 74 g/mol) = 1.024 moles

    The molarity, M, is therefore,

    M = (1.024 moles Ca (OH) 2) / (1.2 L)

    M = 0.854 M

    Answer: 0.854 M
