<u>Answer:</u> Osmolarity of the sodium chloride solution is 18 Osmol/L.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Osmolarity is defined as the the concentration of the solution which is expressed as the total number of solution particles present in one liter of solvent.

We are given the molarity of the solution which is 3mol/L and to convert it into osmolarity, we will multiply the number of osmoles that are produced by the solute.

Osmole is defined as the particles that contribute to the osmotic pressure of a solution.

The solute given here is sodium chloride (NaCl). Number of osmoles can be determined by the dissociation of this solvent into ions.

The equation given by the dissociation of NaCl:

NaCl\rightarrow Na^++Cl^-

1 mole of sodium chloride produces 2 moles of ions.

So, 3 moles of sodium chloride will produce = (3 × 2) = 6 moles of ions.

Hence, osmolarity of the sodium chloride solution will be 6\times 3mol/L=18Osmol/L

balandron [24]

Answer:

The molar mass of carbon

Explanation:

Before the mass (in grams) of two moles of carbon can be determined, <u>the molar mass of the element would be needed.</u>

<em>This is because the number of mole of an element is the ratio of its mass and the molar mass</em>. That is,

number of mole = mass/molar mass

Hence, the mass of elements can be obtained by making it the subject of the formular;

mass = number of mole x molar mass

<em>Therefore, the molar mass of carbon would be needed before the mass of 2 moles of the element can be determined.</em>

A student is learning about a particular chemical element. The element is a metal that readily forms ionic salts with nonmetals
seropon [69]

Answer:

Group 2

Explanation:

Because group 2 is very reactive and forms salts with other non metals. Example Calcium Chloride. Calcium is from group 2, forms ionic salts with other non metal, and exists as solid at standard temp and pressure.
