<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

Doss [256]

The formula or chemical formula of a compound is same irrespective of source / mode of synthesis . Thus if a sample of compound has one carbon atom for every two atoms of oxygen (CO2), the formula will remains the same

So the answer is that for all other samples the compound X should hold this ration true.
