Explanation:
Earlier, we located the valence electrons for elements Z < 20 by drawing modified Bohr structures. We can obtain these values quicker by referring to the roman numeral numbers above each family on the periodic table. The total number of valence electrons for an atom can vary between one and eight. If an element is located on the left side of the table (metal) and has less than three valence electrons, it will lose its valence in order to become stable and achieve an octet. In contrast, elements on the right side of the table (nonmetals) will gain up to eight electrons to achieve octet status.

We are told that the concentration of sodium hypochlorite is 4.0% (w/v). To calculate the molarity of the sodium hypochlorite solution, let us consider a sample volume of 0.1 liter. Since we are given a w/v (Percent of weight of solution in the total volume of solution) value, it means that there are 4 <span>grams of sodium hypochlorite per 100 mL of solution (0.1 liter). Molarity is measured in moles per liter. So we'll just convert the given 4 grams to moles using the molar mass.

4 grams</span>sodium hypochlorite * (1 mol sodium hypochlorite/ 74.44 g sodium hypochlorite) = 0.054 moles sodium hypochlorite
So we have 0.054 moles sodium hypochlorite / 0.1 L solution
<span>
Thus the molarity is 0.53 mol/L or just 0.53 M.
