Explanation:

Molarity is defined as the number of moles divided by one liter of solution.

Mathematically, Molarity = $\frac{\text{no. of moles}}{\text{volume in liter}}$

As it is given that volume is 2.0 L and mass is 10.0 grams. Therefore, first we will calculate the number of moles as follows.

No. of moles = $\frac{mass}{\text{molar mass of NaOH}}$

= $\frac{10.0}{40 g/mol}$ (molar mass of NaOH = 40 g/mol)

= 0.25 mol

Hence, calculate the molarity of the solution as follows.

Molarity = $\frac{\text{no. of moles}}{\text{volume in liter}}$

= $\frac{0.25}{2.0 L}$

= 0.125 M

Thus, we can conclude that molarity of given solution is 0.125 M.

Molarity is moles of solute per litre of solvent. We're given mass of solute, but can convert to moles using the molar mass of NaOH (40 g/mol). There are 10 g / 40 g/mol = 0.25 mol of NaOH in the solution.

M = 0.25 mol / 2.0 L = 0.125M

The second answer (0.13M) is the correct one.

What is the property of water, powdered drink mix, and sugar after mixing

MArishka [77]

When all ingredients are mixed the 2 solids are dissolved into the water making it all liquid but the taste is still there. The drink mix gives it a little flavor and the sugar makes it sweet. The water is there to make it a liquid, it all turns out to be a colored liquid. Hope this helped! :)

Calcium has an atomic number of 20. How many electrons of a calcium atom are involved in chemical bonding?

NARA [144]

The answer is 2 electrons.

The electron configuration of calcium is 2:8:8:2

Calcium has two electrons in its outermost shell. These are its valence electrons and are the ones used in bonding with other elements. Valence electrons of an atom are those electrons that are in its outer energy shell or that are available for bonding.

Calcium is a metal. When metals react with non-metals, electrons are transferred from the metal atoms to the non-metal atoms forming ions. The resulting compound is known as an ionic compound.

For example, when calcium metal reacts with chlorine gas, calcium gives up its two valence electrons and Chlorine accepts them resulting in a new substance called calcium chloride in which the two elements have ended up forming ionic bonds.

Metals posses varying reduction potentials. Iron can reduce Cu+2 (aq) to copper metal. Silver can reduce Au+ (aq) to gold metal.

natta225 [31]

Answer: The true statement is iron can reduce $Au^+(aq)$ to gold metal

Explanation:

Single displacement reaction is defined as the reaction in which more reactive element displaces a less reactive element from its chemical reaction.

The reactivity of metal is determined by a series known as reactivity series. The metals lying above in the series are more reactive than the metals which lie below in the series.

$A+BC\rightarrow AC+B$
