During a water treatment program, 127 grams of calcium nitrate, ca(no3)2, is dissolved in water. the final volume of the solution is 2,300 milliliters. what is the molarity of the solution? refer to the periodic table to you answer. express your answer to two significant figures. the molarity of the solution is m.

- 0.34 M

Solution:- 127 grams of calcium nitrate are dissolved in water to make the volume of the solution 2300 mL. It asks to calculate the molarity of the solution.

Molarity is moles of solute per liter of solution. let's convert the given grams of the solute to moles on dividing it's grams by molar mass and convert the mL to L . Then the moles are divided by the liters to get the molarity. M is the symbol for molarity.

Calcium nitrate contains one Ca, two N and six O.  The molar mass is calculated as:

Molar mass = 40.078 + 2(14.007) + 6(15.999)

= 40.078 + 28.014 + 95.994

= 164.086 grams per mol

Conversion of grams to moles:

= 0.774 mol

Conversion of mL to L:

= 2.3 L

Now, divide the moles by liters to get the molarity:

Molarity =  = 0.34 M

So, the molarity of calcium nitrate solution is 0.34 M.

a mercury barometer is a device that uses the physical properties of mercury in a tube to measure barometric pressure. mercury barometers are used for : -

1. measurement of atmospheric pressure  

2. determining the altitude of a place

3. weather forecasting

4. calibration and checking of aneroid barometers

5. application in fluid mechanics

6. measurement of pressure in aircrafts

7. surface weather analysis

8. preparation of barographs

9. usage in physical sciences like physics, astronomy & chemistry

10. preparation of aircraft altimeters

characteristics of mercury barometer : -

1.used to define and measure atmospheric pressure.

2.on the average at sea level the column of mercury rises to a height of about 760 mm.

3.this quantity is equal to 1 atmosphere.

4.it is also known as standard atmospheric pressure.

5.a barometer in which the weight of a column of mercury in a glass tube with a sealed top is balanced against that of the atmosphere pressing on an exposed cistern of mercury at the base of the mercury column, the height of the column varying with atmospheric pressure.
