Answer:

1.9 × 10⁻²⁶

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the solution reaction for M₂X₃

M₂X₃(s) ⇄ 2 M³⁺(aq) + 3 X²⁻(aq)

Step 2: Make an ICE chart

We can relate the molar solubility (S) with the solubility product constant (Ksp) using an ICE chart.

M₂X₃(s) ⇄ 2 M³⁺(aq) + 3 X²⁻(aq)

I 0 0

C +2S +3S

E 2S 3S

The solubility product constant is:

Ksp = [M³⁺]² × [X²⁻]³ = (2S)² × (3S)³ = 108 S⁵ = 108 (2.8 × 10⁻⁶)⁵ = 1.9 × 10⁻²⁶

a water sample is found to have a cl- content of 100ppm as nacl what is the concentration of chloride in moles per liter

ladessa [460]

Answer:

The concentration of chloride ion is $2.82\times10^{-3}\;mol/L$

Explanation:

We know that 1 ppm is equal to 1 mg/L.

So, the $Cl^-$ content 100 ppm suggests the presence of 100 mg of $Cl^-$ in 1 L of solution.

The molar mass of $Cl^-$ is equal to the molar mass of Cl atom as the mass of the excess electron in $Cl^-$ is negligible as compared to the mass of Cl atom.

So, the molar mass of $Cl^-$ is 35.453 g/mol.

Number of moles = (Mass)/(Molar mass)

Hence, the number of moles (N) of $Cl^-$ present in 100 mg (0.100 g) of $Cl^-$ is calculated as shown below:

$N=\frac{0.100\;g}{35.453\;g/mol}=2.82\times 10^{-3}\;mol$

So, there is $2.82\times10^{-3}\;mol$ of $Cl^-$ present in 1 L of solution.
