Step 1: Define

50.0 g NaOH

Step 2: Identify Conversions

Avogadro's Number

Molar Mass of Na - 22.99 g/mol

Molar Mass of O - 16.00 g/mol

Molar Mass of H - 1.01 g/mol

Molar Mass of NaOH - 22.99 + 16.00 + 1.01 = 40 g/mol

Step 3: Convert

Step 4: Check

Follow sig fig rules and round. We are given 3 sig figs.

7.5275 × 10²³ molecules NaOH ≈ 7.53 × 10²³ molecules NaOH

out of these options:

ability to burn paper

pure sodium reacting violently with water

the boiling point of water

helium does not tend to react with anything

i would say this is a physical property:

helium does not tend to react with anything

why? :

i said helium does not tend to react with anything because well, it reacts to ! but ability to burn paper, pure sodium reacting violently with water, & the boiling point of water are chemical or

physical properties: the properties of a substance that can be observed without changing the chemical makeup of the substance

chemical properties: properties of a substance relating to the chemical nature and reactivity of the substance

c. electrical charges of ionic bonds.
