An aqueous KNO3 solution is made using 75.5g of KNO3 diluted to a total solution volume of 1.60 L.

The density of the solution is immaterial in this problem
Molar mass KNO3 = 101.1g/mol
Moles of KNO3 = 75.5/101.1 = 0.7468 mol dissolved in 1.60L solution
Molarity = 0.7468/1.60
Molarity = 0.467 mol /L or 0.467M
