(Help would be greatly appreciated, chemistry is not my strong suit) How many moles of NaCl are present in a solution with a mol
1 answer:
Molarity is a unit of concentration defined as the number of moles of solute (the substance being dissolved) per volume of solution (the solvent in which all the solute is dissolved). Mathematically, molarity is expressed as
.
In this question, we are given the molarity and the volume of a solution of NaCl. We can use this information to calculate the number of moles of NaCl present in the solution. Rearranging the equation to solve for moles of solute, we multiply the molarity by the volume of the solution (the units for volume must be in liters, so 125 mL is expressed as the equivalent 0.125 L):
The question asks for the number of moles of NaCl in this solution, so number 3 would be correct.

Explanation: A <u>homogeneous mixture</u> is a solid, liquid, or gaseous mixture that has the same proportions of its components throughout any given sample. The components that make them up are evenly distributed and the appearance of the solution is uniform throughout.
A<u> heterogeneous mixture</u> has components whose proportions vary throughout the sample. The components of a heterogeneous mixture are visible and not uniform throughout. A heterogeneous mixture is simply any mixture that is not uniform in composition.
a) Peanuts and almonds mixed together in a bowl : The components(Peanuts and almonds) are visible in a bowl and are not evenly distributed and also not uniform throughout. So this is a 'heterogeneous mixture'.
b) Bucket full of sand and gravel : The components(sand and gravel) are visible in a bucket and are not evenly distributed and also not uniform throughout. So this is a 'heterogeneous mixture'.
c) Cup of tea and sugar : The components(tea and sugar) are evenly distributed and the appearance of the solution is uniform throughout. So this is a 'Homogeneous mixture'.
d) Food coloring dissolved in water : The components(Food coloring and water) are evenly distributed and the appearance of the solution is uniform throughout. So this is a 'Homogeneous mixture'.
