Were studying molarity in my bio class.I thought I knew what I was doing but it keeps saying my answers are wrong.
Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
If you have 58 grams of NaCl in 1 (one) Liter of water, what is the molarity of the solution?
-This is what I did. I found the molecular weight. Na was 22.990 and Cl was 35.353. I decided to round Na up to 23 and Cl to 35.5. Does the rounding affect that? After adding those togther you end up with 58.5.I then divided 58/58.5. I end up with 0.991453 so I rounded that to 0.991.Was that right?
Another question I have is this
This type of chemical solution resists changes in pH
-I thought the answer to this was A buffer solution,but it said it was wrong. Is that right?
