<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

What is displacement reaction?​
Sauron [17]

Answer:

it is a chemical reaction in which one element replaces an/other element in a compound. It can be represented generically as: A + B-C → A-C + B This will most often occur if A is more reactive than B, thus giving a more stable product.

sveta [45]

In the compound potassium nitrate (KNO3), the atoms within the nitrate ion are held together with COVALENT bonding, and the potassium ion and nitrate ion are held together by IONIC bonding.

A covalent bond, also called a molecular bond, is a chemical bond that involves the sharing of electron pairs between atoms. These electron pairs are known as shared pairs or bonding pairs. Covalent bond is formed between two non-metals.

Ionic bonds form when one atom gives up one or more electrons to another atom. It is the complete transfer of valence electron(s) between oppositely charged atoms.  Ionic bond is formed between metal (electropositive element) and non-metal(electronegative element)

In nitrate ions the Nitrogen (N) and Oxygen (O) both are non-metals and it involves the sharing of electron pairs between N and O atoms, so the bonding in Nitrate (NO_{3}^{-}) ion is covalent bonding.

In potassium nitrate , Potassium (K) is a metal and Nitrate (NO_{3}^{-}) ion is non-metal and it involves the complete transfer of valence electron between oppositely charged atoms (K+) and (NO_{3}^{-}). So the bonding between Potassium and Nitrate is Ionic bonding.

NOTE : Bonding between Non-metals is Covalent bonding.

Bonding between Metal and Non-metals is Ionic bonding.
