<em><u>The Rutherford model shows that an atom is mostly empty space, with electrons orbiting a fixed, positively charged nucleus in set, predictable paths.</u></em>
The statement that best describes a solution is the option C: a mixture having a uniform composition where the components cannot be seen separately and all components are in the same state.<span> That is exactly what a solution is: a homogeneous mixture, the composition is uniform, but it can vary from one solution to other. The components must be in the safe phase, but it can be any phase: solid, liquid or gas. The most classical and clear example is the salt solution, NaCl. When you dissolve a spoon of NaCl in water you will not be able to distinguish nor separating the solute from the solvent, and the mixture will have uniform composition.</span>
To determine the molar mass, you need to get the atomic mass of the molecule. To do this, check the periodic table for the atomic mass or average atomic weight of each element.
Mg = 24.305 x 1 = 24.305 amu
O = 15.9994 x 2 =31.9988 amu
H = 1.0079 x 2 = 2.0158 amu
Then, add all the components to get the atomic mass of the molecule.
24.305 amu + 31.9988 amu + 2.0158 amu = 58.3196 amu
The atomic mass is just equivalent to its molar mass.
So, the molar mass of Magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)2) is 58.3196 g/mol.
