    Molarity for solution is 1.44 M

    Explanation:

    Molarity = Mol of solute / 1L of solution

    We would need the volume of solution (To be calculated with density)

    We would need the moles of solute (To be calculated with mass and molar mass of solute)

    7.41 % by mass means 7.41 g of solute in 100 g of solution

    So, moles of solute → 7.41 g / 58.45 g/mol = 0.127 mol

    Let's determine the volume by density

    Density = Mass / volume

    1.14 g/mL = 100 g / Volume

    Volume = 100 g / 1.14 g/mL → 87.7 mL

    To reach molarity we must have the volume in L

    87.7 mL. 1L / 1000 mL = 0.0877 L

    Molarity → mol / L = 0.127 mol / 0.0877L → 1.44 M
