Answer:

[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf B. \ 0.5 \ M}}[/tex]

Explanation:

Molarity is a measure of concentration in moles per liter. The formula for calculating molarity is:

[tex]molarity= \frac{moles \ of \ solute}{ liters \ of \ solution}[/tex]

There are 2 moles of a compound or the solute. There are 4 liters of water or the solution.

  • moles of solute= 2 mol
  • liters of solution = 4 L

Substitute the values into the formula.

[tex]molarity = \frac{ 2 \ mol}{ 4 \ L}[/tex]

Divide.

[tex]molarity= 0.5 \ mol /L[/tex]

1 mole per liter is equal to 1 Molar, so the solution's molarity of 0.5 mol/L is equal to 0.5 M.

[tex]molarity = 0.5 \ M[/tex]

The molarity of the solution is 0.5 Molar and choice B is correct.
