<span>Ultra violet light is the catalyst that converts 7-dehydrocholesterol to provitamin D3. Ultra violet light can be obtained from the sun. The conversion happens when UVB light hits the skin (where 7-dehydrocholesterol naturally resides), gets absorbed, and us metabolized inside of the body.</span>
Shape
A gas is shapeless all other things being equal. It will, if put in a container, occupy every part of the container.
A liquid could also be thought of shapeless. If put in a container, it need not occupy the entire container. It will occupy as much as its calculated volume will permit it to occupy.
A solid will only occupy its original shape.
Volume
A gas will occupy whatever container it is put in within limits. You cannot put a 72 mols of gas in a mm^3 container without some amazing ability to apply a lot of pressure.
A liquid will occupy a volume determined by its density and mass. In general liquids cannot be compressed.
Whatever volume a solid has to start with, it will retain that volume all other things being equal.
This is actually very hard to describe.
Molarity = Moles/Liter
Use the molecular atomic mass of NaCl to convert from grams to moles.
Molecular mass of NaCl is the sum of its atomic masses. Look at the periodic table to find these. Na is 23 g/mol and Cl is 35.5 g/mol ,
so NaCl = 23 + 35.5 = 58.5 g/mol
multiply to cancel out grams
76 g NaCl * (1mol / 58.5 g NaCl) = 1.3 mol NaCl
over 1 Liter is just 1.3 M NaCl
