8 0

Answer:

8 valence electrons

Explanation:

There are 4 valence electrons in carbon because it is in group 4A of the periodic table. There is 1 valence electron per hydrogen based on its position on the periodic table, but CH4 has 4 hydrogens in it. So 1 times 4 is 4. Add the 4 valence electrons from carbon with the 4 electrons from H4 to get 8.

Making solutions is an extremely important component to real-life chemistry. If you make 3.00 L of a solution using 90.0 g of so

kumpel [21]

Answer:

Final concentration of NaOH = 0.75 M

Explanation:

For $NaOH$ :-

Given mass = 90.0 g

Molar mass of NaOH = 39.997 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

$moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}$

Thus,

$Moles= \frac{90.0\ g}{39.997\ g/mol}$

$Moles\ of\ NaOH= 2.2502\ mol$

Molarity is defined as the number of moles present in one liter of the solution. It is basically the ratio of the moles of the solute to the liters of the solution.

The expression for the molarity, according to its definition is shown below as:

$Molarity=\frac{Moles\ of\ solute}{Volume\ of\ the\ solution}$
