1.99 M

Explanation:

The molar mass of sodium thiosulfate (solute) is 158.11 g/mol. The moles corresponding to 110 grams are:

110 g * (1 mol/158.11 g) = 0.696 mol

The volume of solution is 350 mL = 0.350 L.

The molarity of sodium thiosulfate is:

M = moles of solute / liters of solution

M = 0.696 mol / 0.350 L

M = 1.99 M
