A solution of H2SO4 with a molal concentration of 5.25m has a density of 1.266 g/ml. what is the molar concentration of this solution?

Answers

There are a number of ways to express concentration of a solution. This includes molarity and molality. Molarity is expressed as the number of moles of solute per volume of the solution while molality is expressed as the number of moles solute per mass of solution.

Molarity = 5.25 mol / kg solution (1.266 kg / L) = 6.65 M

Na+ + Cl–  NaCl Which statement best describes the relationship between the substances in the equation?

Answers

Answer : The number of sodium ions is equal to the number of formula units of salt.


Explanation : In the given reaction of NaCl the statement which describes it the best is that the number of sodium ions is found to be same along with the formula units in the product side.


Na^(+) + Cl^(-) ----> NaCl.


Its clear from the equation that one mole of Na and one mole of Cl combines together to give the product, which is one mole of NaCl. The number of ions on both the sides are equal.

The correct answer for the question that is being presented above is this one: "The number of sodium ions is equal to the number of formula units of salt." The statement that best describes the relationship between the substances in the equation is that the number of sodium ions is equal to the number of formula units of salt.
