Answer:

0.4 M

Explanation:

Molarity is defined as moles of solute, which in your case is sodium hydroxide,

NaOH

, divided by liters of solution.

molarity

moles of solute

liters of solution

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

Moreover, you don't have the number of moles of sodium hydroxide, you just have the mass in grams. So, your strategy here will be to

determine how many moles of sodium hydroxide you have in that many grams

convert the volume of the solution from milliliters to liters

So, to get the number of moles of solute, use sodium hydroxide's molar mass, which tells you what the mass of one mole of sodium hydroxide is.

⋅

1 mole NaOH

40.0

0.175 moles NaOH

The volume of the solution in liters will be

500

⋅

1 L

1000

0.5 L

Therefore, the molarity of the solution will be

0.175 moles

0.5 L

0.35 M

Rounded to one sig fig, the answer will be

0.4 M

Answer:

4.occupy a definite volume while taking the shape of their container.

Explanation:

Since the particles in a liquid are quite close together (not as close as a solid) they have a definete volume, and the particles are still able to move around as they wish they have no definite shape and take upon the shape of the container they are placed in.

Write the formula for methionine (red = o, gray = c, blue = n, yellow = s, ivory = h).express your answer as a molecular formula

-BARSIC- [3]

We have to get the formula of methionine.

The formula of methionine is

Methionine is an essential amino acid of human. It is white crystalline solid.

The formula of methionine is C₅H₁₁NO₂S. Methionine contains five carbon atoms, eleven hydrogen atoms, one nitrogen atom, two oxygen atoms and one sulphur atom.

It contains one amino group (-NH₂) and one carboxylic acid group (-COOH). Atoms are depicted in C-atom in grey, H-atom in ivory, O-atom in red, N-atom in blue and S-atom in yellow.
