5. 16.3 g of NaCl is dissolved in water to make 1.75 L of solution. What is the molarity of this solution? A 0.159 M B 0.278 M C 9.31 M D 33.4 M​

The molarity of this solution is 0.159 M.

Explanation:

Given: Mass of solute = 16.3 g

Volume = 1.75 L

Number of moles is defined as the mass of substance divided by its molar mass.

Hence, moles of NaCl (molar mass = 58.44 g/mol) ar calculated as follows.

Molarity is the number of moles of a substance present in a liter of solution.

So, molarity of the given solution is calculated as follows.

Thus, we can conclude that the molarity of this solution is 0.159 M.

alkaline metals are lithium, sodium, rubidium, potassium, cesium and francium.

alkali metals have electronegativity from 0.7 to 1, lowest in periodic table of elements, which means that alkali metals (i group in periodic table) has positive oxidation number in compounds.

electronegativity is a chemical property that describes the tendency of an atom to attract a shared pair of electrons towards itself.

alkaline metals (far left in main group) have lowest ionizations energy and easy remove valence electrons,

for example, potassium is the alkali metal and has a single valence electron in the outer electron shell.

electron configuration of potassium is: ₁₉k 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶4s¹.

they can not exist alone in nature, because they are very reactive.
