What mass of NaNO3 must be dissolved to make 838mL of a 1.25 M solution

89.04 g of NaNO₃.

Explanation:

We'll begin by converting 838 mL to L. This can be obtained as follow:

1000 mL = 1 L

Therefore,

838 mL = 838 mL × 1 L / 1000 mL

838 mL = 0.838 L

Next, we shall determine the number of mole of NaNO₃ in the solution. This can be obtained as follow:

Volume = 0.838 L

Molarity = 1.25 M

Mole of NaNO₃ =?

Mole = Molarity × volume

Mole of NaNO₃ = 1.25 × 0.838

Mole of NaNO₃ = 1.0475 mole

Finally, we shall determine the mass of NaNO₃ needed to prepare the solution. This can be obtained as follow:

Mole of NaNO₃ = 1.0475 mole

Molar mass of NaNO₃ = 23 + 14 + (16×3)

= 23 + 14 + 48

= 85 g/mol

Mass of NaNO₃ =?

Mass = mole × molar mass

Mass of NaNO₃ = 1.0475 × 85

Mass of NaNO₃ = 89.04 g

Therefore, 89.04 g of NaNO₃ is needed to prepare the solution.

substituting a hydrogen atom with a halogen in a hydrocarbon:

- the single bond remains single. a is wrong.

- the bond with hydrogen is as strong as with a halogen. c is wrong

- a hydrocarbon is saturated if there is no double bond. we do not know that so d is wrong.

- carbon will always have four valence electrons. e is wrong.

by elimination, the correct answer is b. the boiling point of the new compound increases.
