400

I have 345 mL of a 1.5M NaCl solution. If I boil the water until the volume of the solution is 250mL, what will the molarity of the solution be?

2.07M

500

In a solution, is there more of the solute or solvent? Why?

There is more solvent because by definition it is the major component and the solute is the substance dissolved in the solution. 

500

What is known as the universal solvent?

Water

500

I have two solutions. In the first solution, 1 mole of NaCl is dissolved to make 1L of solution. In the second one, 1 mole of NaCl is added to 1L of water. Is the molarity of each solution the same? Explain your answer. 

No. 

500
