We use the osmotic pressure to determine the concentration of the solute in the solution. Then, we multiply the volume of the solution to determine the number of moles of solute particles. We need to establish to equations since we have two unknowns, the mass of of each solute. We do as follows:
osmotic pressure = CRT
<span>C = 7.75 / 0.08205 (296.15) = 0.3189 mol / L</span>
<span>moles of particles = C*V = 0.3189*0.250 =0.0797 mol </span>
<span>0.0797 = moles of sucrose + 2*moles of salt </span>
<span>x + 2y = 0.0797 </span>
<span>and </span>
<span>x(MMsucrose) + y(MMNaCl) = 10.2</span>
<span>342x + 58.5y = 10.2
</span>
<span>solve for x and y
</span>
<span>x = 0.0252 mol sucrose</span>
<span>y = 0.0273 mol NaCl
</span>
<span>mass Sucrose = 0.0252(342) = 8.6184 g </span>
<span>mass NaCl = 0.0273(58.5) = 1.5971 g </span>
<span>% NaCl = (1.5971 / 10.2)*100 = 15.66%</span>
The reactants in the neutralization reaction are an acid and a base while the products are a salt and water.
It would be considered acid rain in the sense of dew fall
