Why are very few 2+ ions formed in a mass spectrometer?

1 answer:

5 0

A mass spectrometer measures the masses of different substances in molecular form by ionizing them. The molecules are identified by observing their movement in electric and magnetic fields. Most of the ions formed carry a charge of +1. This is because it takes a tremendous amount of energy to remove an electron from an atom that is already positive; the remaining electrons are more tightly held in orbit.

By pipet, 11.00 mL of a 0.823 MM stock solution of potassium permanganate (KMnO4) was transferred to a 50.00-mL volumetric flask

tangare [24]

Answer:

1) 0.18106 M is the molarity of the resulting solution.

2) 0.823 Molar is the molarity of the solution.

Explanation:

1) Volume of stock solution = $V_1=11.00 mL$

Concentration of stock solution = $M_1=0.823 M$

Volume of stock solution after dilution = $V_2=50.00 mL$

Concentration of stock solution after dilution = $M_2=?$

$M_1V_1=M_2V_2$ ( dilution )

$M_2=\frac{0.823 M\times 11.00 mL}{50 ,00 mL}=0.18106 M$

0.18106 M is the molarity of the resulting solution.

Molarity of the solution is the moles of compound in 1 Liter solutions.

$Molarity=\frac{\text{Mass of compound}}{\text{Molar mas of compound}\times Volume (L)}$

Mass of potassium permanganate = 13.0 g

Molar mass of potassium permangante = 158 g/mol

Volume of the solution = 100.00 mL = 0.100 L ( 1 mL=0.001 L)

$Molarity=\frac{13.0 g}{158 g/mol\times 0.100 L}=0.823 mol/L$

0.823 Molar is the molarity of the solution.

A) Calculate the osmotic pressure difference between seawater and fresh water. For simplicity, assume thatall the dissolved salt

never [62]

Answer:

a) Δπ = 1.264 atm

b) W = 128 joules

c) ΔH >> W ( a factor greater than 17,000 )

Explanation:

a) The osmotic pressure, π , is determined by :

π = nRT/V, where n= moles of solute

R= 0.0821 Latm/kmol

T = 300 K

calling π(sw) osmotic pressure for for sea water and π (fw) for fresh water,

salinity of sea water = 3.5 g / 1L water (assuming only NaCl for the salts)

salinity of fresh water = 0.5 parts per thousand (range: 0- 0.5 ppt)

πsw = (3.5 g/58.44 g/mol) (0.0821 Latm/Kmol) (300 K ) /1 L = 1.475 atm

πfw = (0.5 g/58.44 g/mol) (0.0821 Latm/Kmol) (300 K ) /1 L = 0.211 atm

d water = 1 g/cm³

Δ π = (1.475 - 0.211) = 1.264 atm

b) W = Δπ V = 1.426 atm x 1L = 1.43 L-atm

1 L-atm = 101.33 j

W = 101.33 j/ Latm x 1.43 Latm = 128 joules

c) ΔH = Q₁ + nΔH vap, where

Q₁ = heat required to bring the solution from 300 K to boiling, 373 K

ΔH vap = heat of vaporization

Q = mCΔT = 1000 g x 4.186 j x 73 K = 305.6 j = 0.3056 kj

ΔH vap = (1000 g/ 18 g/mol ) 40.7 kj/mol = 2,261 kj

ΔH = 0.3056 kj + 2,261 kj = 2,261.3 kj

Note = Q << ΔH vap and we could have neglected it.

This result shows why nobody talks about evaporation of sea water to produce fresh water ΔH >> W
