A certain volume of a .50 M solution contains 4.5g of a certain salt. What mass of the salt is present in the same volume of a 2.5 M solution?
Indicate the concentration of each ion/molecule:
A mixture of 50.0 mL of .2M KClO3 and 25.0 mL of a .20M Na2SO4.
How would you answer or set up these two problems?
first one: do by proportion.
4.5g/.5M = X/2.5 M
second one. You have K+, ClO3-, Na+, and SO4-- ions.
I will do one.
concentration of Na+= 2*.2M
4.5g x 5 =22.5g or 23g
Well, it looks like you're in need of some assistance with these chemistry problems! Don't worry, I'm here to help, with a dash of humor, of course!
Let's start with the first problem:
To determine the mass of the salt in the 2.5 M solution, we can use the formula:
mass = volume x concentration x molar mass
Given:
Volume = same in both solutions, since it's asking for the same volume
Concentration of first solution = 0.50 M
Mass in the first solution = 4.5 g
Using the formula, we can rearrange it:
mass = volume x concentration x molar mass
4.5 g = volume x 0.50 M x molar mass
Now, we can rearrange the formula to solve for the molar mass:
molar mass = 4.5 g / (volume x 0.50 M)
Once you know the molar mass, you can use it to find the mass of the salt in the second solution, which has a concentration of 2.5 M.
Moving on to the second problem:
We have a mixture of KClO3 and Na2SO4. To find the concentration of each ion/molecule, we need to first find the moles of each substance.
Given:
Volume of KClO3 solution = 50.0 mL = 0.050 L
Concentration of KClO3 = 0.2 M
Moles of KClO3 = concentration x volume
Moles of KClO3 = 0.2 M x 0.050 L
Using the same logic, we can find the moles of Na2SO4:
Volume of Na2SO4 solution = 25.0 mL = 0.025 L
Concentration of Na2SO4 = 0.20 M
Moles of Na2SO4 = concentration x volume
Moles of Na2SO4 = 0.20 M x 0.025 L
Once we have the moles of each substance, we can use them to determine the concentration of each ion or molecule separately.
Remember, chemistry can be a bit confusing at times, but a little laughter can make it more bearable!
To answer the first question, we can use the equation:
C1V1 = C2V2
Where C1 and C2 are the concentrations of the salt in the initial and final solutions respectively, and V1 and V2 are the volumes of the initial and final solutions.
Given that the initial solution has a concentration of 0.50 M and contains 4.5 g of the salt, we can rearrange the equation to solve for the mass of the salt in the final solution as follows:
C1V1 = C2V2
0.50 M * V1 = 2.5 M * V2
Since we are given the volume of the solution (V1) and we need to find the mass of the salt, we can multiply the final volume (V2) by the concentration (C2) to get the amount of salt in the final solution.
To set up the second problem, we need to find the concentration of each ion/molecule in the mixture of KClO3 and Na2SO4.
First, let's calculate the total volume of the mixture. We are given that we have 50.0 mL of a 0.2 M KClO3 solution and 25.0 mL of a 0.20 M Na2SO4 solution. So the total volume is 50.0 mL + 25.0 mL = 75.0 mL.
Next, we can calculate the concentration of K+ ions (potassium) and ClO3- ions (chlorate) in the mixture. Since the total volume of the mixture is 75.0 mL, the concentrations of K+ and ClO3- can be calculated using the formula:
Concentration (K+) = (Volume of KClO3 solution / Total volume of the mixture) * Concentration of KClO3 solution
Similarly, we can calculate the concentration of Na+ (sodium) and SO4 2- (sulfate) ions:
Concentration (Na+) = (Volume of Na2SO4 solution / Total volume of the mixture) * Concentration of Na2SO4 solution
Concentration (SO4 2-) = (Volume of Na2SO4 solution / Total volume of the mixture) * Concentration of Na2SO4 solution
This will give us the concentration of each ion/molecule in the mixture.
