Unfortunately the data provided doesn't include the DENSITY of the ammonium chloride solution and molarity is defined as moles per volume. So without the density, the calculation of the molarity is impossible. But fortunately, there are tables available that do provide the required density and for a 20% solution by weight, the density of the solution is 1.057 g/ml.
So 1 liter of solution will mass 1057 grams and the mass of ammonium chloride will be 0.2 * 1057 g = 211.4 g. The number of moles will then be 211.4 g / 53.5 g/mol = 3.951401869 mol. Rounding to 3 significant digits gives a molarity of 3.95.
Now assuming that your teacher wants you to assume that the solution masses 1.00 g/ml, then the mass of ammonium chloride will only be 200g, and that is only (200/53.5) = 3.74 moles.
So in conclusion, the expected answer is 3.74 M, although the correct answer using missing information is 3.95 M.
but where Is the volume in order for us to determine the concentration. since we have moles in H+ ions
then you can say
concentration = M*1000/V
Answer:
2.387 mol/L
Explanation:
The reaction that takes place is:
- 2HCl + Ba(OH)₂ → BaCl₂ + 2H₂O
First we <u>calculate how many moles of each reagent were added</u>:
- HCl ⇒ 200.0 mL * 3.85 M = 203.85 mmol HCl
- Ba(OH)₂ ⇒ 100.0 mL * 4.6 M = 460 mmol Ba(OH)₂
460 mmol of Ba(OH)₂ would react completely with (2*460) 920 mmol of HCl. There are not as many mmoles of HCl so Ba(OH)₂ will remain in excess.
Now we <u>calculate how many moles of Ba(OH)₂ reacted</u>, by c<em>onverting the total number of HCl moles to Ba(OH)₂ moles</em>:
- 203.85 mmol HCl *
= 101.925 mmol Ba(OH)₂
This means the remaining Ba(OH)₂ is:
- 460 mmol - 101.925 mmol = 358.075 mmoles Ba(OH)₂
There are two OH⁻ moles per Ba(OH)₂ mol:
- OH⁻ moles = 2 * 358.075 = 716.15 mmol OH⁻
Finally we <u>divide the number of OH⁻ moles by the </u><u><em>total</em></u><u> volume</u> (100 mL + 200 mL):
- 716.15 mmol OH⁻ / 300.0 mL = 2.387 M
So the answer is 2.387 mol/L
