Define the problem

Explanation:

The first step in a scientific investigation is to define the problem at hand. Definition of a scientific problem makes a scientific investigations possible.

When preliminary observations are made about a phenomenon. A lot of questions as to why such things occur will arise.
From the question, we can state the problem and the likely causes.
The first portal in an inquiry is problem definition.
This would them lead to the formulation of a hypothesis which contains problem statement and likely causes.
The hypothesis leads to the design of an experiment from which investigations using experiments can be done.
The data from the experiments are collected and analyzed.

A barium hydroxide solution is prepared by dissolving 2.06 g of Ba(OH)2 in water to make 32.9 mL of solution. What is the concen

navik [9.2K]

Answer: 1.36 M

Explanation:

Molarity of a solution is defined as the number of moles of solute dissolved per liter of the solution.

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

where,

n = moles of solute

To calculate the moles, we use the equation:

moles of solute= $\frac{\text {given mass}}{\text {molar mass}}=\frac{2.06g}{171g/mol}=0.0120moles$

$Molarity=\frac{0.0120\times 1000}{32.9}=0.364M$

The balanced reaction between barium hydroxide and perchloric acid:

$2HCIO_4+Ba(OH_)2\rightarrow BaCIO_4+2H_2O$

To calculate the concentration of acid, we use the equation given by neutralization reaction:

$n_1M_1V_1=n_2M_2V_2$

where,

$n_1,M_1\text{ and }V_1$ are the n-factor, molarity and volume of acid which is $HClO_4$

$n_2,M_2\text{ and }V_2$ are the n-factor, molarity and volume of base which is $Ba(OH)_2$

We are given:

$n_1=1\\M_1=?\\V_1=8.50mL\\n_2=2\\M_2=0.364M\\V_2=15.9mL$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$1\times M_1\times 8.50=2\times 0.364\times 15.9\\\\M_1=1.36M$

Thus the concentration of the acid is 1.36 M

How many moles of nitrogen are present at STP if the volume is 846L

Artyom0805 [142]

A mole of any gas occupied 22.4 L at STP. So, the number of moles of nitrogen gas at STP in 846 L would be 846/22.4 = 37.8 moles of nitrogen gas.

Alternatively, you can go the long route and use the ideal gas law to solve for the number of moles of nitrogen given STP conditions (273 K and 1.00 atm). From PV = nRT, we can get n = PV/RT. Plugging in our values, and using 0.08206 L•atm/K•mol as our gas constant, R, we get n = (1.00)(846)/(0.08206)(273) = 37.8 moles, which confirms our answer.

A sample of sodium sulfite has a mass of 2.80 g.

Gnom [1K]

<u>Answer:</u>

<u>For a:</u> The number of sodium ions in given amount of sodium sulfite are $2.65\times 10^{22}$

<u>For b:</u> The number of sulfite ions in given amount of sodium sulfite are $1.325\times 10^{22}$

<u>For c:</u> The mass of one formula unit of sodium ions is $2.09\times 10^{-22}$ grams

<u>Explanation:</u>

The chemical formula of sodium sulfite is $Na_2SO_3$ . It is formed by the combination of 2 sodium $(Na^+)$ ions and 1 sulfite $(SO_3^{2-})$ ions

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$

Given mass of sodium sulfite = 2.80 g

Molar mass of sodium sulfite = 126 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Moles of sodium sulfite}=\frac{2.80g}{126g/mol}=0.022mol$

<u>For a:</u>

Moles of sodium ions in sodium sulfite = (2 × 0.022) moles

According to mole concept:

1 mole of a compound contains $6.022\times 10^{23}$ number of particles

So, 0.022 moles of sodium sulfite will contain = $(2\times 0.022\times 6.022\times 10^{23})=2.65\times 10^{22}$ number of sodium ions

Hence, the number of sodium ions in given amount of sodium sulfite are $2.65\times 10^{22}$

<u>For b:</u>

Moles of sulfite ions in sodium sulfite = (1 × 0.022) moles

According to mole concept:

1 mole of a compound contains $6.022\times 10^{23}$ number of particles

So, 0.022 moles of sodium sulfite will contain = $(1\times 0.022\times 6.022\times 10^{23})=1.325\times 10^{22}$ number of sulfite ions

Hence, the number of sulfite ions in given amount of sodium sulfite are $1.325\times 10^{22}$

<u>For c:</u>

Molar mass of sodium sulfite = 126 g/mol

According to mole concept:

$6.022\times 10^{23}$ number of formula units are present in 1 mole of a compound

Or, $6.022\times 10^{23}$ number of formula units of sodium sulfite have a mass of 126 grams

So, 1 formula unit of sodium sulfite will have a mass of = $\frac{126}{6.022\times 10^{23}}\times 1=2.09\times 10^{-22}g$

Hence, the mass of one formula unit of sodium ions is $2.09\times 10^{-22}$ grams
