The question requires us to calculate the mass of NaNO3 necessary to prepare 506 mL of a 10.5 M solution of this salt.

To answer this question, we'll need to go through the following steps:

1) Calculate the molar mass of NaNO3, as it will be necessary during the question;

2) Calculate the number of moles necessary to prepare 506 mL of the 10.5 M solution;

3) Convert the number of moles calculated into the mass of NaNO3, using the molar mass of this salt.

Next, we'll follow the steps:

1) To calculate the molar mass of NaNO3, we need to consider the atomic masses of Na, N and O and the number of atoms of each of these elements. The atomic masses are 22.99 u, 14.01 u and 15.99 u for Na, N and O, respectively. With this information, we can calculate the molar mass:

molar mass of NaNO3 = (1 * 22.99) + (1 * 14.01) + (3 * 15.99) = 84.97 g/mol

2) Next, we use the molar concentration provided (10.5 M or 10.5 mol/L) and the volume required (506 mL = 0.506 L) to obtain the number of moles necessary to prepare this solution:

<em>1 L of solution --------------- 10.5 mol of NaNO3</em>

<em>0.506 L of solution -------- x</em>

Solving for x, we have:

x=\frac{(0.506\text{ L of solution)}\times(10.5\text{ mol of NaNO}_3)}{(1\text{ L of solution)}}=5.31\text{ mol of NaNO}_3

Therefore, the number of moles of NaNO3 necessary to prepare the solution is 5.31 moles.

3) At last, we use the molar mass obtained in step 1 (84.97 g/mol) to calculate the mass that corresponds to 5.31 moles of NaNO3:

<em>1 mol of NaNO3 ---------------- 84.97 g</em>

<em>5.31 mol of NaNO3 ----------- y</em>

Solving for y, we have:

y=\frac{(5.31\text{ mol of NaNO}_3)\times(84.97\text{ g of NaNO}_3)}{(1\text{ mol of NaNO}_3)}=451.2\text{ g of NaNO}_3

Therefore, the mass of NaNO3 necessary to prepare the solution given by the question is 451.2 g.

What gas is measured in an ICE CORE and what is the correlation between that gas and temperature?
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

Explanation By looking at past concentrations of greenhouse gasses in layers in ice cores, scientists can calculate how modern amounts of carbon dioxide and methane compare to those of the past, and, essentially, compare past concentrations of greenhouse gasses to temperature. Ice coring has been around since the 1950s.n:
