If I make a solution by adding 83 grams of sodium hydroxide to 750 mL of water. a. What is the molality of sodium hydroxide in this solution

2.77 mol/kg

Explanation:

Molality is a sort of concentration that indicates the moles of solute in 1kg of solvent. In this case our solvent is water and, if we consider water's density as 1g/mL, we determine that the mass of solvent is 750 g.

We convert the mass to kg → 750 g . 1kg /1000g = 0.750 kg

Our solute is the NaOH → 83 g.

We convert the mass to moles → 83 g . 1mol /40g = 2.075 mol

Molality (mol/kg) = 2.075 mol / 0.75kg = 2.77 m

since the atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus, as we move to the left on the periodic table, the electrostatic pull between the nucleus and the valence electron shell decreases. as we move down a group (vertical column), the valence shell energy level gets further and further from the nucleus.
