You have 100.0 mL of 0.2500 M solution of NaCl sitting in a beaker. After several days you test the solution and find out that it is now 0.3721M. How much water must have evaporated??

I got 67.2 mL but its the wrong answer.. PLS HELP!

use mmoles as mmoles at end mus be same as at start.

100.0 ml x 0.2500 M = (final vol) x 0.3721 M

so final volume =
100.0 ml x 0.2500 M/0.3721 M

I got 53.75 ml as the final volume.

hence you can calculate how much water has evaporated.

Thank you for your help :) but the correct answer according to my prof was 32.8mL i am not even sure if C is the correct answer or a typo.

I was give 5 options to choose from:
a) concentration can not change because of evaporation
b) 100.0 mL
c) 32.8 mL
d) 67.2 mL
e) 12.2 mL

oops

Sorry a typed 100.0 ml x 0.2500 M/0.3721 M but put 0.2000 into my calculator!!

I got 67.186 ml as the final volume.

Yes, so C

what is 4.00g KCI in 40.0mL of solution. give answer to two significant forms

EX予約

Well, if you have a 0.2500 M solution turning into a 0.3721 M solution, it seems like your water molecules have been a bit mischievous and decided to go on vacation. But don't worry, we'll figure out how much of them went missing!

To solve this, we can use the dilution formula: C₁V₁ = C₂V₂, where C₁ is the initial concentration, V₁ is the initial volume, C₂ is the final concentration, and V₂ is the final volume.

Initially, you have 100.0 mL of your 0.2500 M solution, so C₁ = 0.2500 M and V₁ = 100.0 mL.

After some time, the solution becomes 0.3721 M, so C₂ = 0.3721 M.

Now, let's solve for V₂ (the final volume), which is the total volume after some evaporation has occurred.

(0.2500 M) * (100.0 mL) = (0.3721 M) * (V₂)

By rearranging the equation, we can find V₂:

V₂ = (0.2500 M * 100.0 mL) / 0.3721 M

Calculating this, we find V₂ ≈ 67.2725 mL.

So, it seems like approximately 67.2725 mL of the water in your solution decided to make a getaway. It looks like you were close with your answer of 67.2 mL, just a little bit off! Keep up the good work, and don't worry, those water molecules will come back... maybe with a postcard!

To determine the amount of water that evaporated, we can use the concept of dilution. Initially, we had a 0.2500 M solution of NaCl with a volume of 100.0 mL. After evaporation, the concentration increased to 0.3721 M.

To solve this problem, we can use the equation:

M1V1 = M2V2

Where:
M1 = initial concentration of the solution (0.2500 M)
V1 = initial volume of the solution (100.0 mL)
M2 = final concentration of the solution (0.3721 M)
V2 = final volume of the solution (unknown)

Rearranging the equation, we have:

V2 = (M1V1) / M2

Plugging in the given values, we get:

V2 = (0.2500 M) * (100.0 mL) / (0.3721 M)

V2 ≈ 67.37 mL

So, according to my calculations, approximately 67.37 mL of water must have evaporated from the initial solution. Double-check your calculations to ensure accuracy.
