$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 16.68 \ g\ Ca(OH)_2}}$

Explanation:

Molarity is a measure of concentration in moles per liter.

$molarity = \frac{moles \ of \ solute}{liters \ of \ solution}$

The molarity is 0.450 moles per liter. The moles of solute is unknown.

The volume of the solution is 500 milliliters, but we want to know the liters. We need to convert the units. Remember that 1 liter contains 1000 milliliters.

$\frac{ 1 \ L}{1000 \ mL}$ $500 \ mL *\frac{ 1 \ L}{1000 \ mL}$ $500 *\frac{ 1 \ L}{1000 }$ $\frac{500}{1000} \ L =0.500 \ L$

So, we have values for all the variables:

molarity= 0.450 mol/L moles of solute = xliters of solution =0.500 L

Substitute the values into the formula.

$0.450 \ mol /L *\frac{x}{0.500 \ L}$

We want to solve for x, the moles of solute. x is being divided by 0.500 liters. The inverse of division is multiplication, so multiply both sides by 0.500 L.

$0.500 \ L *0.450 \ mol /L =\frac{x}{0.500 \ L}*0.500 \ L$

$0.500 \ L *0.450 \ mol /L =x$

The units of liters cancel.

$0.500 *0.450 \ mol=x$

$0.225 \ mol =x$

Now we have the moles and need to convert to grams. This is done using the molar mass (mass per 1 mole). The values are found on the Periodic Table as atomic masses, but the units are grams per mole instead of atomic mass units.

The solute is Ca(OH)₂, so lookup the molar masses of the individual elements.

Ca:40.08 g/mol O: 15.999 g/mol H: 1.008 g/mol

Note there is a subscript of around OH. There are 2 hydroxide molecules, so there are 2 oxygen and 2 hydrogen atoms. We must multiply their molar masses by 2 before adding all the values.

Ca(OH)₂= 40.08 + 2(15.999)+2(1.008)=74.094 g/mol

Use the molar mass as a ratio.

$\frac{74.094 \ g \ Ca(OH)_2} {1 \ mol \ Ca(OH)_2}$

Multiply by the number of moles calculated.

$0.225 \ mol \ Ca(OH)_2 *\frac{74.094 \ g \ Ca(OH)_2} {1 \ mol \ Ca(OH)_2}$

The units of moles of calcium hydroxide cancel.

$0.225 *\frac{74.094 \ g \ Ca(OH)_2} {1}$

$16.67115 \ g\ Ca(OH)_2$

16.68 grams of calcium hydroxide are needed.

Answer from: Quest

There is one s orbital, and there are three p orbitals, five d orbitals, and seven f orbitals. thus, the answer is b. do not confuse the number of orbitals in a subshell with the number of electrons the subshell can hold. each orbital can hold two electrons, so the capacity of an nf subshell is 14 electrons.

Plz choose one of the compounds from the table and explain how you know the numbers of atoms in your formula. is it possible for two different compounds to be made from the exact same two elements? why or why not? with a limited number of elements (less than 120 are known), does this mean we also have a small number of compounds or do we have a large number of compounds in this world?
