Question

Which will contain the greater number of moles of potassium ion: 30.0 ml of 0.15 m k2cro4 or 25.0 ml of 0.080 m k3po4?

Answer 1

30.0 ml of 0.15 m K2CrO4 solution will have more potassium ions. Let's see the relative number of potassium ions for each solution. Since all the measurements are the same, the real difference is the K2CrO4 will only have 2 potassium ions per molecule while the K3PO4 solution will have 3 potassium ions per molecule. K2CrO4 solution 30.0 * 0.15 * 2 = 9 K3PO4 solution 25.0 * 0.080 * 3 = 6 Since 9 is greater than 6, the K2CrO4 solution will have more potassium ions.
