What is the total number of moles of solute in 2.0 liters of 3.0 m naoh
a) 1.0 mole
b) 2.0 moles
c) 3.0 moles
d) 6.0 moles

The correct answer is Option D.

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles from the given molarity of the solution, the equation used is:

where,

n = number of moles of solute = ? mol

V = volume of the solution = 2 L

M = molarity of the solution = 3 mol/liters

Putting values in above equation, we get:

Hence, the correct answer is Option D.

"among the transition metal elements, manganese and zinc have a slight lowering of electronegativities. the reason behind this is that the nuclear charges of these elements are slightly weaker than the other transition metal elements due to the way their valence electrons are filled up. both manganese and zinc have their valence electrons filled up to the 4th shell with 1 pair of electrons (4s2) completely occupying it. although the electrons in the 3rd shell (3d) are yet to be paired since the outer most shell is filled up, the ability of the nucleus to attract electrons is lessened. hence,   the electronegativity (or the ability to attract electrons) is lessened."
