Carbohydrates are substances that are found in foods such as bread and pasta, which provide the body with heat and energy. Chemically, carbohydrates are made of three kinds of elements namely carbon , hydrogen and oxygen.

Carbohydrates are separated into two main categories, simple carbohydrates and complex carbohydrates.

Simple carbohydrates are those that contain one or two sugar molecules linked together. Complex carbohydrates are those that contain three or more sugar molecules linked together. In some cases these chains can contain hundreds of sugar molecules.

The two oxygen atoms forming molecules of oxygen gas that you breath are joined by a polar covalent bond. Explain why this state

mylen [45]

It’s false. Anything that is bonded to itself is instantly a non-polar molecule as they both share the same electronegativity.

How do water molecules behave?

bulgar [2K]

Water is polar meaning that it has prominent areas of negative and positive charge. Among water molecules there is a weak force called hydrogen bonding which causes the molecules to "stick" to one another. This sticking to itself is called cohesion, and it causes water to ball up into droplets. This same force also causes water to stick to other kinds of molecules. This is called adhesion, and it is what causes water to ride up on the side of a water container slightly.

Calculate how many grams would be required to prepare 600. 0 ml of 0. 150 m of naf? molar mass of naf is 41. 9 g/mo

marta [7]

Considering the definition of molarity and molar mass, the mass of NaF required is 3.771 grams.

<h3>Definition of molarity</h3>

Molar concentration or molarity is a measure of the concentration of a solute in a solution and indicates the number of moles of solute that are dissolved in a given volume.

The molarity of a solution is calculated by dividing the moles of solute by the volume of the solution:

$molarity=\frac{number of moles}{volume}$

Molarity is expressed in units $\frac{moles}{liters}$ .

<h3>Definition of molar mass</h3>

The molar mass of substance is a property defined as its mass per unit quantity of substance, in other words, molar mass is the amount of mass that a substance contains in one mole.

<h3 /><h3>Mass of NaF required</h3>

In this case, you know:

molarity= 0.15 M= 0.15 $\frac{moles}{L}$
number of moles= ?
volume= 600 mL= 0.6 L

Replacing in the definition of molarity:

$0.15\frac{moles}{L} =\frac{number of moles}{0.6 L}$

Solving:

0.15 $\frac{moles}{L}$ × 0.6 L= number of moles

<u><em>0.09 moles= number of moles</em></u>

The molar mass of NaF is 41. 9 g/mol. So, you can apply the following rule of three: If by definition of molar mass 1 mole of the compound contains 41.9 grams, 0.09 moles of the compound contains how much mass?

$mass=\frac{0.09 molesx41.9 grams}{1 mole}$
