Question

What is the concentration of no3- ions in a solution prepared by dissolving 15.0 g of ca(no3)2 in enough water to produce 300. ml of solution?

Answer 1

Ca(NO3)2 -------> Ca²⁺ +2NO3⁻

M(Ca(NO3)2)= M(Ca) + M(N) + 6M(O)= 40.0 +14.0 +6*16.0 = 150 g/mol

15.0 g Ca(NO3)2 * 1mol/150 g = 0. 100 mol Ca(NO3)2


Ca(NO3)2 -------> Ca²⁺ +2NO3⁻
1 mol                               2 mol
0.100 mol                           0.200 mol

We have 0.2 mol NO3⁻ in 300. mL=0.300 L of solution,
so
0.200 mol NO3⁻ / 0.300 L solution ≈ 0.667 mol NO3⁻ /L solution = 0.667 M

Concentration of NO3⁻ is 0.667 M.
