### Determining the Concentration of a Calcium Sulfite Solution

**Problem Statement:**
What is the concentration of a solution if 6.12 g of calcium sulfite (molar mass 120.2 amu) is added to a 100.0 mL volumetric flask and water is added to the line?

**Step-by-Step Solution:**

1. **Calculate the Number of Moles of Calcium Sulfite:**
   \[
   \text{Number of moles} = \frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}
   \]
   \[
   = \frac{6.12 \text{ g}}{120.2 \text{ g/mol}}
   \]
   \[
   = 0.0509 \text{ mol}
   \]

2. **Convert Volume from milliliters to liters:**
   \[
   100.0 \text{ mL} = 0.1000 \text{ L}
   \]

3. **Calculate the Concentration (Molarity) of the Solution:**
   \[
   \text{Molarity (M)} = \frac{\text{Number of moles}}{\text{Volume in liters}}
   \]
   \[
   = \frac{0.0509 \text{ mol}}{0.1000 \text{ L}}
   \]
   \[
   = 0.509 \text{ M}
   \]

**Conclusion:**
The concentration of the calcium sulfite solution is 0.509 M.
