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.

Answer:

4.67~m

Explanation:

If we have a 20% by <u>weight solution</u> indicates that in <u>100 g of solution we have 20 g</u> of NH_4Cl. So, in the 100 g of solution we will have 80 g of H_2O (100-20= 80). If we remember the <u>molality equation</u>:

m=\frac{mol~of~solute}{Kg~of~solvent}

On this case the <u>solute</u> is NH_4Cl, so we have to convert from g to mol using the <u>molar mass</u>:

20g~NH_4Cl\frac{1~mol~NH_4Cl}{53.5g~NH_4Cl}

0.373mol~NH_4Cl

Then we have to calculate the <u>Kg of solvent</u> (H_2O), so:

80~g~H_2O\frac{1~Kg~H_2O}{1000~g~H_2O}

0.08~Kg~H_2O

Finally, we have to <u>divide</u> these two values:

m=\frac{0.373mol~NH_4C}{0.08~Kg~H_2O}

4.67~m

A standard solution of FeSCN2+ is prepared by combining 9.0 mL of 0.20 M Fe(NO3)3 with 1.0 mL of 0.0020 M KSCN . The standard so
Xelga [282]

Answer : The equilibrium concentration of SCN^- in the trial solution is 4.58\times 10^{-8}M

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the initial moles of Fe^{3+} and SCN^-.

\text{Moles of }Fe^{3+}=\text{Concentration of }Fe^{3+}\times \text{Volume of solution}

\text{Moles of }Fe^{3+}=0.20M\times 9.0mL=1.8mmol

and,

\text{Moles of }SCN^-=\text{Concentration of }SCN^-\times \text{Volume of solution}

\text{Moles of }SCN^-=0.0020M\times 1.0mL=0.0020mmol

The given balanced chemical reaction is,

Fe^{3+}(aq)+SCN^-(aq)\rightleftharpoons FeSCN^{2+}(aq)

Since 1 mole of Fe^{3+} reacts with 1 mole of SCN^- to give 1 mole of FeSCN^{2+}

The limiting reagent is, SCN^-

So, the number of moles of FeSCN^{2+} = 0.0020 mmole

Now we have to calculate the concentration of FeSCN^{2+}.

\text{Concentration of }FeSCN^{2+}=\frac{0.0020mmol}{9.0mL+1.0mL}=0.00020M

Using Beer-Lambert's law :

A=\epsilon \times C\times l

where,

A = absorbance of solution

C = concentration of solution

l = path length

\epsilon = molar absorptivity coefficient

\epsilon and l are same for stock solution and dilute solution. So,

\epsilon l=\frac{A}{C}=\frac{0.480}{0.00020M}=2400M^{-1}

For trial solution:

The equilibrium concentration of SCN^- is,

[SCN^-]_{eqm}=[SCN^-]_{initial}-[FeSCN^{2+}]

[SCN^-]_{initial} = 0.00050 M

Now calculate the [FeSCN^{2+}].

C=\frac{A}{\epsilon l}=\frac{0.220}{2400M^{-1}}=9.17\times 10^{-5}M

Now calculate the concentration of SCN^-.

[SCN^-]_{eqm}=[SCN^-]_{initial}-[FeSCN^{2+}]

[SCN^-]_{eqm}=(0.00050M)-(9.17\times 10^{-5}M)

[SCN^-]_{eqm}=4.58\times 10^{-8}M

Therefore, the equilibrium concentration of SCN^- in the trial solution is 4.58\times 10^{-8}M
