Elements can be defined by their unique properties and atomic.
Answer : The percent by mass of the solution is 7.81 %
Explanation : Given,
Mass of NaCl = 8.75 g
Mass of solution = 112.0 g
Now we have to determine the percent by mass of the solution.
Putting values in above equation, we get:
Therefore, the percent by mass of the solution is 7.81 %
Answer : The number of moles of solute 
is, 0.0788 moles.
Explanation : Given,
Molarity = 0.225 M
Volume of solution = 0.350 L
Formula used:
Now put all the given values in this formula, we get:
Therefore, the number of moles of solute is, 0.0788 moles.
Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Molecules in a liquid have less force of attraction as compared to solids. But liquid molecules have more force of attraction as compared to gases.
Since molecules of a gas are held together by weak Vander waal forces, therefore, they expand to fill the container whereas molecules in a liquid are not expanded in a container like gases because of more force of attraction within molecules of liquids as compared to gases.
Hence, a liquid can take the shape of container in which it is kept.
Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options, a liquid change to take the shape of its container but NOT expand to fill the container itself because the particles of a liquid are held together loosely enough to flow, but not so loose that they expand.
