“Gibbous” means "humpbacked.” Why is this term appropriate for a moon phase?

Gibbous refers to the moon when it is more than half full but not completely full. This results in half a circle with a smaller arc on the opposite side. This makes a weird shaped “hump” on that side which is what the humpback means.

What is the molarity of a sodium chloride solution made by dissolving 4.512 moles to make 2.0 L?
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

2.40 M

Explanation:

The molarity of a solution tells you how many moles of solute you get per liter of solution.

Notice that the problem provides you with the volume of the solution expressed in milliliters,

mL

. Right from the start, you should remember that you must convert this volume to liters by using the conversion factor

1 L

=

10

3

mL

Now, in order to get the number of moles of solute, you must use its molar mass. Now, molar masses are listed in grams per mol,

g mol

−

1

, which means that you're going to have to convert the mass of the sample from milligrams to grams

1 g

=

3

mg

Sodium chloride,

NaCl

, has a molar mass of

58.44 g mol

−

1

, which means that your sample will contain

This means that the molarity of the solution will be

The answer is rounded to three sig figs, the number of sig figs you have for the volume of the solution.
