What is the molarity of a sodium chloride solution made by dissolving 4.512 moles to make 2.0 L?

2.40 M

Explanation:

The molarity of a solution tells you how many moles of solute you get per liter of solution.

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

mL

. Right from the start, you should remember that you must convert this volume to liters by using the conversion factor

1 L

=

10

3

mL

Now, in order to get the number of moles of solute, you must use its molar mass. Now, molar masses are listed in grams per mol,

g mol

−

1

, which means that you're going to have to convert the mass of the sample from milligrams to grams

1 g

Sodium chloride,

NaCl

, has a molar mass of

58.44 g mol

−

1

, which means that your sample will contain

The answer is rounded to three sig figs, the number of sig figs you have for the volume of the solution.

water pollution kills aquatic life. aquatic life includes algae and other plant life that use photosynthesis. photosynthesis takes   c02 out of the air.  

c02is a greenhouse gas.
