5 Valence electrons .......... Hope it helps, Have a nice day:)
Answer:
The correct answer is thermophiles.
Explanation:
Thermus aquaticus are heat resistant bacteria because these bacteria can survive under adverse environmental conditions like high temperature.
These bacteria belong to one of the most heat-loving groups of extremophiles that are thermophiles. Thermophiles are present in volcanic soil, geysers and around deep-sea vents where the temperature is extremely high.
Thermus aquaticus bacteria is used to manufacture an enzyme called Taq DNA polymerase, which is heat resistant and also an important factor in molecular biology.
First, we have to remember the molarity formula:

Part 1:
In this case, our solute is sodium nitrate (NaNO3), and we have the mass dissolved in water, then we have to convert grams to moles. For that, we need the molecular weight:

Then, we calculate the moles present in the solution:

Now, we have the necessary data to calculate the molarity (with the solution volume of 200 mL):

The molarity of this solution equals 0.2339 M.
Part 2:
In this case, we have the same amount (in moles and mass) of sodium nitrate, but a different volume of solution, then we only have to change it:

So, the molarity of this solution is 0.1701 M.
A chemical reaction does happen between sodium and water to form Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) and Hydrogen Gas (H-2)
