If volumes are additive and 253 mL of 0.19 M potassium bromide is mixed with 441 mL of a potassium dichromate solution to give a

new solution in which [K+] is 0.846 M, what is the concentration of the potassium dichromate used to make the new solution?

Answer:

The concentration of the Potassium Dichromate solution is 0.611 M

Explanation:

First of all, we need to understand that in the final solution we'll have potassium ions coming from KBr and also K2Cr2O7, so we state the dissociation equations of both compounds:

KBr (aq) → K+ (aq) + Br- (aq)

K2Cr2O7 (aq) → 2K+ (aq) + Cr2O7 2- (aq)

According to these balanced equations when 1 mole of KBr dissociates, it generates 1 mole of potassium ions. Following the same thought, when 1 mole of K2Cr2O7 dissociates, we obtain 2 moles of potassium ions instead.

Having said that, we calculate the moles of potassium ions coming from the KBr solution:

0.19 M KBr: this means that we have 0.19 moles of KBr in 1000 mL solution. So:

1000 mL solution ----- 0.19 moles of KBr

253 mL solution ----- x = 0.04807 moles of KBr

As we said before, 1 mole of KBr will contribute with 1 mole of K+, so at the moment we have 0.04807 moles of K+.

Now, we are told that the final concentration of K+ is 0.846 M. This means we have 0.846 moles of K+ in 1000 mL solution. Considering that volumes are additive, we calculate the amount of K+ moles we have in the final volume solution (441 mL + 253 mL = 694 mL):

1000 mL solution ----- 0.846 moles K+

694 mL solution ----- x = 0.587124 moles K+

This is the final quantity of potassium ion moles we have present once we mixed the KBr and K2Cr2O7 solutions. Because we already know the amount of K+ moles that were added with the KBr solution (0.04807 moles), we can calculate the contribution corresponding to K2Cr2O7:

0.587124 final K+ moles - 0.04807 K+ moles from KBr = 0.539054 K+ moles from K2Cr2O7

If we go back and take a look a the chemical reactions, we can see that 1 mole of K2Cr2O7 dissociates into 2 moles of K+ ions, so:

2 K+ moles ----- 1 K2Cr2O7 mole

0.539054 K+ moles ---- x = 0.269527 K2Cr2O7 moles

Now this quantity of potassium dichromate moles came from the respective  solution, that is 441 mL, so we calculate the amount of them that would be present in 1000 mL to determine de molar concentration:

441 mL ----- 0.269527 K2Cr2O7 moles

1000 mL ----- x = 0.6112 K2Cr2O7 moles = 0.6112 M

Which factors help you identify the solute and the solvent in a solution? Select all that apply. In a solution, the solvent is p
KatRina [158]

The answers would be:

In a solution, the solvent is present in a greater amount.

In a solutions, the solute dissolves in a solvent.

In general, these are the best answers. The solute is what is being dissolved and the solvent is what dissolves. A solvent comes in greater amounts in a solution and it is the dissolving agent.

For example, sugar and water.

To make a sugar water solution, you will need to dissolve sugar in water. Sugar is the solute in this case because it is what is being dissolved. The water is the solvent, because it dissolves the sugar.

If you had more sugar than water, then you cannot make a solution.

What is the sequence of energy transformations that occur in a nuclear reactor?
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

option (B) is correct

Explanation:

In case of nuclear reactors first the nuclear energy is emitted due to the nuclear fission of heavy elements.

This nuclear energy is emitted in the form of heat energy.

This heat energy is used to rotate the turbines, that means it is converted in the form of mechanical energy and then finally this mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy.

How many moles of HCl are required to completely neutralize 0.30 moles of Ca(OH)2?
hammer [34]
Each mole of Ca(OH)₂ will produce 2 moles of OH- ions

Each mole of OH- ions will require one mole of H+ ions

Thus,
moles of OH- ions = moles of H+ ions = 2 x 0.3
moles of H+ ions required = 0.6

Each mole of HCl will produce one mole of H+ ions
Moles of HCl = moles of H+ ions
Moles of HCl = 0.6
