What do the symbols in parenthesis indicate?

6 0

Hi there.

(aq) means something is aqueous. (s) stands for solid.

The symbols in the parenthesis mean CaCl2 at the start is aqueous, and 2AgNO3 is aqueous.

At the end, Ca(NO3)2 is aqueous, and 2AgCl is solid.

Hope this helps!

A student wants to prepare 1.00 L of a 1.00 M solution of NaOH (molar mass 40.00 g/mol). If solid NaOH is available, how would t

Explanation:

$Molarity=\frac{\text{Mass of substance}}{\text{Molar mass of substance}\times \text{Volume of solution(L)}}$

Mass of NaOH = m

MOlar mass of NaOH = 40 g/mol

Volume of NaOH solution = 1.00 L

Molarity of the solution= 1.00 M

$1.00 M=\frac{m}{40 g/mol\times 1.00 L}$

$m=1.00 M\times 40 g/mol\times 1.00 L = 40. g$

A student can prepare the solution by dissolving the 40. grams of NaOH in is small volume of water and making that whole volume of solution to volume of 1 L.

Upto two significant figures mass should be determined.
