Explanation:

A crucible and lid plays an important role in carrying out a reactions as they help the container or vessel to be tightly closed so the no other gases from the atmosphere can enter the vessel.

Moreover, it helps in maintaining the temperature of vessel.

Therefore, when the crucible and lid be inspected for cracks before using then it should not be used because during the reaction it is possible that it will break.

Calcium nitrate tetrahydrate dissolves in cold water to the extent of 266 g per 100 cm3. What is the concentration of nitrate io

Soloha48 [4]

Answer : The correct option is, (b) 22.5 M

Explanation : Given,

Mass of calcium nitrate tetrahydrate = 266 g

Molar mass of calcium nitrate tetrahydrate = 236.15 g/mole

Volume of solution = $100cm^3=100mL$

Molarity : It is defined as the moles of solute present in one liter of solution.

Formula used :

$Molarity=\frac{\text{Mass of calcium nitrate tetrahydrate }\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of calcium nitrate tetrahydrate }\times \text{volume of solution in ml}}$
