Answer:

The molarity of a solution is 2.5 M

Explanation:

Molarity is a concentration unit that describes how much of a solution is dissolved in solution.

Molarity of a solution can found by using the formula,

Molarity (M) = (moles of solute)/(Liters of Solution).

Given, mass of Sodium = 114.95 grams.

Volume of water = 2 L.

Here, Sodium is solute as it is dissolved in water, which is the solvent.

Moles of Sodium(solute) can be found by using the formula,

Number of Moles = mass/Molecular weight.

mass of Sodium = 114.95 grams.

Molecular weight = 22.989 grams

Number of Moles of Sodium(solute) =114.95/22.989 = 5.

Substituting the values in the formula, we get,

M = 5/2 = 2.5 M

Here,
$^{235}U$ = Fission material,
$^{1}n$ = projectile,
$^{236}U$ = intermediate nuclei,
$^{144}Ba$ and $^{89}Kr$ = Fission product

A solution is prepared by dissolving 2.61 g ethanol (C2H5OH) in 16.2 g water. What is the molality (mol/kg) of C2H5OH in the sol

stiks02 [169]

Answer:

3.50 molal

Explanation:

Molality → Moles of solute / kg of solvent.

Let's convert the solvent's mass from g to kg

16.2 g . 1kg / 1000 g = 0.0162 kg

Let's determine the moles from the solute
