Q: A solution contains 0.250 mol of NaCl in 500 mL of water. What is the molar concentration?

$$c = \frac{0.250\,\text{mol}}{0.500\,\text{L}} = 0.500\,\text{mol/L}$$

Q: What is the density of a substance if its mass is 8.00 g and its volume is 2.00 mL?

$$d = \frac{8.00\,\text{g}}{2.00\,\text{mL}} = 4.00\,\text{g/mL}$$

Q: A block has dimensions 10.0 cm × 10.0 cm × 10.0 cm. What is its volume in liters?

$$V = 10.0\,\text{cm} \times 10.0\,\text{cm} \times 10.0\,\text{cm} = 1000\,\text{cm}^3 = 1.00\,\text{L}$$
