Expert Solution
Step 1

Making a solution of exact molarity needs precision and accuracy in weighing and addition of reagents. We need to make sure that use of clean apparatus is involved during the experiment.

To make a molar solution we use the following formula: 

                     molarity= number of moles of solute volume of solvent in litre
