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

Octanol is slightly soluble in water, and water is very soluble in octanol. why is it important to presaturate octanol with wate

notsponge [240]

N-Octanol and water are chosen because the connection between a substance's hydrophilicity and lipophilicity is measured by $K_{OW}$ (n-Octanol/Water partition coefficient). When a chemical is more dissolves in fat-like solvents like n-octanol, the value is more significant than one, when it's more dissolved in water, the value is lower.

What is the partition coefficient?

The partition coefficient for the two-phase network comprising n-octanol and water is known as the $K_{OW}$ value. N-Octanol-Water Partition Ratio is another name for it.

The connection between a substance's hydrophilicity (its ability to dissolve in water) and lipophilicity (its ability to dissolve in fat) is measured by $K_{OW}$ . The value is bigger if a drug is more accessible in fat-like liquids like n-octanol and less if a compound seems more water-soluble.

Owing to linkage or fragmentation, substances that are involved in the octanol-water combination as multiple synthetic entities are each given a unique $K_{OW}$ ratio.

So, N-Octanol is chosen because it has a carbon/oxygen ratio that is comparable to that of lipids and because it shows both hydrophobic and hydrophilic properties. N-octanol, therefore, resembles the makeup and characteristics of cells and other living things.

Which statement best describes the pH of pure water? It is neutral because the concentration of hydronium ions equals that of hy

stira [4]

The pH of pure water has been best described as neutral pH with equal hydronium and hydroxide ions. Thus, option A is correct.

pH has been described as the measurement of hydrogen ions in a solution. The pH has been measured on a scale of 1-14. pH 7 has been the neutral pH.

The higher hydronium ion concentration tends to move the pH from 7 towards 1. The higher hydroxide ion concentration tends to move the pH above 7.

The neutral pH has been neither acidic nor basic with the equal constituents of hydronium and hydroxide ion in the solution.

Thus, the pH of pure water has been 7. It has neutral pH with equal hydronium and hydroxide ions. Thus, option A is correct.

Which three temperature readings all mean the same thing?

allochka39001 [22]

Answer: The correct answer is D. 273 Kelvin, 0 degrees Celsius, 32 degrees Fahrenheit.

Explanation:

Conversion of degree Celsius to Kelvin :

K=^oC+273

Conversion of degree Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit :

^oF=(\frac{9}{5}\times ^oC)+32

By using these two conversion factors, we get the three temperature readings all mean the same thing.

For option A :

K=^oC+273=100+273=373K

^oF=(\frac{9}{5}\times ^oC)+32=(\frac{9}{5}\times 100)+32=212^oF

For option B :

K=^oC+273=100+273=373K

^oF=(\frac{9}{5}\times ^oC)+32=(\frac{9}{5}\times 100)+32=212^oF

For option C :

K=^oC+273=0+273=273K

^oF=(\frac{9}{5}\times ^oC)+32=(\frac{9}{5}\times 0)+32=32^oF

For option D :

K=^oC+273=0+273=273K

^oF=(\frac{9}{5}\times ^oC)+32=(\frac{9}{5}\times 0)+32=32^oF

From the given options, only option (D) is correct.

Hence, the correct option is, (D) 273 Kelvin, 0 degrees Celsius, 32 degrees Fahrenheit

Hope this helps!
