Chemical formulas are used to describe the types of atoms and their numbers in an element or compound. The atoms<span> of each element are represented by one or two different letters. When more than one atom of a specific element is found in a molecule, a subscript is used to indicate this in the chemical formula.</span>

Explanation:

A subscript is a number that is placed below an alphabet on the bottom right side.

For example, for H_{2} molecule 2 is the subscript.

A subscript indicates the number of atoms present in a substance or molecule.

For example, in H_{2}SO_{4} the subscripts indicate that there are two hydrogen atoms, one sulfur atom, and four oxygen atoms.

5.0 g of NaCl is dissolved in water, and the solution is brought to a final volume of 150 mL. What is the molarity of this solut
Ksju [112]

Answer:

Molarity is a sort of concentration for solutions. When you talk about it, means mols of solute, that are in 1000 ml of solution. The molarity at this is 0.57M

Explanation:

As you have the solution in a volume of 150ml with 5 g of solute, in 1000 ml how much solute, do u have? The answer is 33.333g so now, you have to take the molar mass of NaCl and get the mols. Mass/molar mass, you will get the moles, so 33,3333 g / 58,44 g/m is 0.570 moles. That's M
