    Molarity for the solution is 1.05 mol/L

    Explanation:

    Mole fraction of solute = 0.0194

    Solution's density = 1.0627 g/mL

    We must know that sum of mole fraction = 1

    Mole fraction of solute + Mole fraction of solvent = 1

    0.0194 + Mole fraction of solvent = 1

    Mole fraction of solvent = 1 - 0.0194 → 0.9806

    Molarity is mol of solute in 1L of solution, so we have to determine solution's volume in L

    With molar mass we can determine the mass of solute and solvent and then, the solution's mass

    0.0194 mol. 101.1 g / mol = 1.96 g of non electrolyte solute

    0.9806 mol. 18 g/mol = 17.65 g of water

    Mass of solution = mass of solute + mass of solvent

    1.96 g + 17.65 g = 19.6 g (mass of solution)

    Solution's density = Solution's mass / Solution's volume

    1.0627 g/mL = 19.6 g / Solution's volume

    Solution's volume = 19.6 g / 1.0627 g/mol →18.4 mL

    Let's convert the mass from mL to L

    18.4mL. 1L / 1000 mL = 0.0184 L

    We have the moles of solute, so let's determine molarity

    mol/L → 0.0194 mol / 0.0184 L = 1.05 M
