    I am assuming that the 0.85% is by weight. So let's start with determining the molar mass of sodium hypochlorite (NaClO).

    Atomic weight sodium = 22.989769

    Atomic weight chlorine = 35.453

    Atomic weight oxygen = 15.999

    Molar mass NaClO = 22.989769 + 35.453 + 15.999 = 74.442 g/mol

    Now 1 liter of the solution will contain 1000 g * 0.0085 = 8.5 g.

    Moles NaClO = 8.5 g / 74.442 g/mol = 0.114182854 mol

    And since molarity is defined as moles per liter, the result (rounded to 2 significant digits) is 0.11 M
