Molecules containing a large number of hydroxyl groups are soluble in water. Molecules which contains the functional group hydroxyl or -OH are called alcohols. Water and alcohols share some similar properties. One would be its polar properties. Alcohols are polar molecules as they contain a partial positive and partial negative end. Making them to be miscible in water. The hydroxyl groups in alcohol are capable of forming hydrogen bonds with the water molecules and with other alcohols. As the number of the hydroxyl groups increases, the polarity of the molecule would also increase making it more soluble in water.

A chemist adds 180.0 mL of a 1.42M sodium carbonate (Na CO,) solution to a reaction flask. Calculate the millimoles of sodium ca

svet-max [94.6K]

Answer: The millimoles of sodium carbonate the chemist has added to the flask are 256

Explanation:

Molarity is defined as the number of moles dissolved per liter of the solution.

To calculate the number of moles for given molarity, we use the equation:

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{milli moles of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution in ml}}$ .....(1)

Molarity of $BaCl_2$ solution = 1.42 M

Volume of solution = 180.0 mL

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$1.42M=\frac{\text{milli moles of }BaCl_2}{180.0ml}\\\\\text{milli moles of }BaCl_2}={1.42M\times 180.0ml}=256milli mol$

Thus the millimoles of sodium carbonate the chemist has added to the flask are 256.
