Answer: Option D) 0.902M

Explanation:

Sodium chloride has a chemical formula of NaCl

Given that,

Amount of moles of NaCl (n) = ?

Mass of NaCl in grams = 145g

For molar mass of NaCl, use the molar masses:

Sodium, Na = 23g;

Chlorine,Cl = 35.5g

NaOH = (23g + 35.5g)

= 58.5g/mol

Since, amount of moles = mass in grams / molar mass

n = 145g / 58.5g/mol

n = 2.48 mole

Amount of moles of NaCl (n) = 2.48 mole

Volume of NaCl solution (v) = 2.75L

Concentration of NaCl solution (c) = ?

Since concentration (c) is obtained by dividing the amount of solute dissolved by the volume of solvent, hence

c = n / v

c = 2.48 mole / 2.75L

c = 0.9018M

Approximately, c = 0.902M

[c is the concentration in moles per litres which is also known as molarity]

Thus, the molarity of the solution is 0.902M

2MG+O2 ...........2MGO

Galina-37 [17]

Mg + 1/2 O2 → MgO

1 mol = 24 g of Mg

X mol = 12 g of Mg

x = 0.5 moles of Mg

Mg :MgO = 1:1 (coefficient from equations using mole ratio)

So

0.5 moles of MgO

1 mol MgO = (24+16) g = 40 g

0.5 moles of MgO = 0.5 × 40

= 20 g of MgO produced

Describe the difference beetween an extensive and intesive property

olasank [31]

Extensive properties, such as mass and volume, depend on the amount of matter being measured. Intensive properties, such as density and color, do not depend on the amount of the substance present. Physical properties can be measured without changing a substance's chemical identity.

Seaweed attached to rocks in the ocean performs photosynthesis underwater. Which statement best explains how some seaweed can su

tia_tia [17]

Answer:

It can use a small amount of sunlight for photosynthesis

Explanation:

Seaweeds are a group of marine plants/algae that grow attached to rocks underwater. However, despite their depth underwater, they still perform photosynthesis, which is a process that requires energy from sunlight.

Seaweeds are able to perform photosynthesis underwater because they are efficient users of sunlight energy. Hence, they require only a small amount of sunlight that penetrates the ocean to perform photosynthesis.
