First you need to get NaHCO3 into moles by dividing the 12.5g NaHCO3 by the molar mass (found on the periodic table) of the compound which is:

Na = 22.99
H = 1.008
C = 12.01
O = 16.00 (x3) = 48

So 12.5g NaHCO3/84.008 g/NaHCO3/1 mol NaHCO3

m = .149

Now that you have mole (m) you need to solve for the molarity (M) equation:

M = mol solute/L soln

M = .149/.350L = .425
