Answer is: increase.

Balanced chemical reaction of dissociation of perchloric acid in water:

HClO₄(aq) → H⁺(aq) + ClO₄⁻(aq).

Ionic compounds (in this example perchloric acid) conduct electricity, because it dissociate in ions and ions conduct electicity.

Ionic substances dissociate in water on cations and anions.

Perchloric acid (HCO₄) is one of strongest inorganic acids.

Answer: Molarity of $Cl^-$ anions in the chemist's solution is 0.0104 M

Explanation:

Molarity : It is defined as the number of moles of solute present per liter of the solution.

Formula used :

$Molarity=\frac{n\times 1000}{V_s}$

where,

n= moles of solute

$Moles=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}=\frac{0.049g}{95g/mol}=5.2\times 10^{-4}moles$

$V_s$ = volume of solution in ml = 100 ml

Now put all the given values in the formula of molarity, we get

$Molarity=\frac{5.2\times 10^{-4}moles\times 1000}{100ml}=5.2\times 10^{-3}mole/L$

Therefore, the molarity of solution will be $5.2\times 10^{-3}mole/L$

$MgCl_2\rightarrow Mg^{2+}+2Cl^-$

As 1 mole of $MgCl_2$ gives 2 moles of $Cl^-$

Thus $5.2\times 10^{-3}$ moles of $MgCl_2$ gives = $\frac{2}{1}\times 5.2\times 10^{-3}=0.0104$

Thus the molarity of $Cl^-$ anions in the chemist's solution is 0.0104 M

Why are plastic containers preferred to glass containers for storing chemicals in the laboratory?

Nookie1986 [14]

Plastics are non-corrosive and non-reactive in nature. So they are used for storing chemicals in the laboratory. They are used for strong chemicals because they do not react with chemicals neither do they corrode
