Hey there!

Solid Sodium and water will react spontaneously and release energy.  This is based on the reactivity series. Sodium is a highly reactive metal and hence, it is placed at the top of the reactivity series. This is because it loses its outermost electron very readily. When it comes in contact with water, it reacts with it violently to form sodium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. This reaction is exothermic and hence, accompanied with a release of energy.  Gold lies at the bottom of the reactivity series as it is very stable and does not give away its outermost electrons easily. Therefore, when it comes in contact with water, there is no reaction and no release of energy.

What is molarity of 50.0 g of mgcl2 dissolved in 150 ml of solution?
Ivahew [28]
To find the molarity of the compound, simply determine the molar mass of MgCl2 and then convert 50 g to moles using the molar mass of the compound. Then convert 150 ml to L = 0.15 L

Then divide the moles amount by the volume in L.
