Potassium Chloride = KCl

KCl has a molar mass of: 39.0983g+35.4530g=74.5513g

The number of moles of KCL we are adding is: 2g/(74.5513g/mol) = 0.02683 mol

But you have to keep in mind that salts in water dissociate:

KCl -> K+ + Cl-

So 1 mole KCl is 2 osmoles (because it’s two particles)

So if you add 0.02683 moles, you are adding 0.02683*2 = 0.05366 osmoles. If you dissolve them in 1 liter, you have a solution 0.05366 OsM = 53.66 mOsM

D5W = dextrose 260 mOsM

1/2 Normal Saline = has half of the normal saline concentration - a normal saline solution has the same sodium chloride concentration as blood serum = 154 mOsm

You have to sum up all the osmolarities:

<span>=  </span>53.66 mOsM + 154 mOsM + 260 mOsM = 467.66 mOsM

Calcium hydroxide is more soluble in water than the magnesium hydroxide .why?​
N76 [4]

Explanation:

This indicates that there are more hydroxide ions in solution than there were in the original water. This is because some magnesium hydroxide has dissolved. Calcium hydroxide solution is referred to as "lime water". A liter of pure water will dissolve about 1 gram of calcium hydroxide at room temperature.

The electronegativity of C = 2.5, O = 3.5. What type of bond is between C-O? ______ ______ bond
Schach [20]

Answer:

Polar covalent bond

Explanation:

On the basis of electronegativity bond could be ionic bond, polar and non pole covalent bond.

Ionic bond:

It is the bond which is formed by the transfer of electron from one atom to the atom of another element.  

Both bonded atoms have very large electronegativity difference. The atom with large electronegativity value accept the electron from other with smaller value of electronegativity.  The electronegativity difference between bonded atoms is greater than 1.7.

For example:

Sodium chloride is ionic compound. The electronegativity of chlorine is 3.16 and for sodium is 0.93. There is large difference is present. That's why electron from sodium is transfer to the chlorine. Sodium becomes positive and chlorine becomes negative ion. Both atoms are bonded together electrostatic attraction occur between anion and cations.

Covalent bond:

It is formed by the sharing of electron pair between bonded atoms.  

The atom with larger electronegativity attract the electron pair more towards it self and becomes partial negative while the other atom becomes partial positive.  There are two type of covalent bond. Polar and non polar covalent bond. When electronegativity difference is 0.4 - 1.7 bond is polar covalent bond when it is less than 0.4 the bond is non polar covalent.

For example:

In CO the electronegativity of oxygen is 3.5 and carbon is 2.5. That's why electron pair attracted more towards oxygen, thus oxygen becomes partial negative and carbon becomes partial positive. and bond is polar covalent.
