The correct explanation is D.

Sodium being an Alkali Metal has a high tendency to lose its only valence electron to attain Neon configuration. In this process, it becomes positively charged, and hence becomes a Cation.

Chlorine is a non-metal that is one electron short of attaining Argon configuration, and hence readily takes the available electrons to become a negatively charged Anion. Since these two are oppositely charged, by the laws of electrostatics, they attract each other forming an Ionic Bond that requires considerable energy to break.

How many atoms are in 766.3 grams of Li?
34kurt

1 mol of any substance is made of 6.022 x 10²³ units, these units could be atoms making up elements or molecules making up a compound.

In this case. 1 mol of Li is made of 6.022 x 10²³ atoms of Li

The molar mass of Li is 6.94 g/mol

Therefore mass of 1 mol of Li is 6.94 g

In 6.94 g of Li there are - 6.022 x 10²³ atoms

Then in 766.3 g of Li there are - 6.022 x 10²³ atoms / 6.94 g x 766.3 g = 665 x 10²³

There are 6.65 x 10^25 atoms of Li

There are on average 43 g of sugar and 355 mL can of soda please calculate the molarity of sugar in the can of soda the molar ma
vfiekz [6]

Explanation:

Given :

Amount of solute - sucrose (C12H22O11) = 41 g

Amount of solvent -soda  = 355-mL

Molarity of the solution with respect to sucrose= ?

Molarity(M) is a unit of concentration measuring the number of moles of a solute per liter of solution. The SI unit of molarity is mol/L.

Formula to find the molarity of solution :

               Molarity =  

Amount of solvent is given in mL, let’s convert to L :

               1 L = 1000 mL

Therefore, 355 mL in L will be :

                   

               = 0.355 L

We have the amount of solute in g, let’s calculate the number of moles first :

       Number of moles (n) =  

Molar mass of C12H22O11 = 342.29 g/mol.

Therefore, n =  

               = 0.119 moles.
