Question

Calculate the concentration (M) of sodium ions in a solution made by diluting 25.0 mL of a 0.765 M solution of sodium sulfide to a total volume of 225 mL.

Answer 1

Given:

Concentration of Na₂S = 0.765 M

Volume of Na₂S solution = 25.0 ml = 0.025 L

Final total volume = 225 ml = 0.225 L

To determine:

The concentration of Na+ ions

Explanation:

# moles of Na₂S = 0.765 * 0.025 = 0.0191 moles

Based on the atomic stoichiometry of Na₂S-

# moles of Na⁺ ions = 2*0.0191 = 0.0382 moles

conc of Na⁺ ions = 0.0382 moles/ 0.225 L = 0.169 M

Ans: [Na⁺] = 0.169 M

Answer 2

The concentration of sodium ions in the diluted ${\text{N}}{{\text{a}}_{\text{2}}}{\text{S}}$ solution is $\boxed{{\text{0}}{\text{.17 M}}}$.

Further Explanation:

The concentration is the proportion of substance in the mixture. The most commonly used concentration terms are as follows:

1. Molarity (M)

2. Molality (m)

3. Mole fraction (X)

4. Parts per million (ppm)

5. Mass percent ((w/w) %)

6. Volume percent ((v/v) %)

Molarity is a concentration term that is defined as the number of moles of solute dissolved in one litre of the solution. It is denoted by M and its unit is mol/L.

The molarity equation for the dilution of ${\text{N}}{{\text{a}}_{\text{2}}}{\text{S}}$ solution is as follows:

${{\text{M}}_{\text{1}}}{{\text{V}}_{\text{1}}}={{\text{M}}_{\text{2}}}{{\text{V}}_{\text{2}}}$                                      ......(1)

Here,

${{\text{M}}_{\text{1}}}$ is the molarity of the initial   solution.

${{\text{V}}_{\text{1}}}$ is the volume of the initial  solution.

${{\text{M}}_{\text{2}}}$ is the molarity of the diluted   solution.

${{\text{V}}_{_{\text{2}}}}$ is the volume of the diluted   solution.

Rearrange equation (1) to calculate ${{\text{M}}_{\text{2}}}$.

${{\text{M}}_{\text{2}}}=\dfrac{{{{\text{M}}_{\text{1}}}{{\text{V}}_{\text{1}}}}}{{{{\text{V}}_{\text{2}}}}}$                          ......(2)

The value of ${{\text{M}}_{\text{1}}}$ is 0.765 M.

The value of ${{\text{V}}_{\text{1}}}$ is 25 mL.

The value of ${{\text{V}}_{_{\text{2}}}}$ is 225 mL.

Substitute these values in equation (2).

$\begin{aligned}{{\text{M}}_{{\text{HBr}}}}&=\frac{{\left( {{\text{0}}{\text{.765 M}}}\right)\times\left( {{\text{25 mL}}}\right)}}{{\left( {{\text{225 mL}}} \right)}}\\&= 0.085{\text{ M}}\\\end{aligned}$

Dilution is the conversion of a concentrated solution into a dilute solution with the addition of extra solvent but the amount of solute is unaltered. The change that arises is an increase in the volume of the solution.

The dissociation of ${\text{N}}{{\text{a}}_{\text{2}}}{\text{S}}$ occurs as follows:

${\text{N}}{{\text{a}}_{\text{2}}}{\text{S}}\rightleftharpoons {\text{2N}}{{\text{a}}^ + } + {{\text{S}}^{2 - }}$

According to the balanced chemical equation, one mole of ${\text{N}}{{\text{a}}_{\text{2}}}{\text{S}}$ dissociates to form two moles of ${\text{N}}{{\text{a}}^ + }$ . So the concentration of ${\text{N}}{{\text{a}}^ + }$ can be calculated as follows:

$\begin{aligned}{\text{Concentration of N}}{{\text{a}}^ + }&= 2\left( {{\text{0}}{\text{.085 M}}} \right)\\&=0.1{\text{7 M}}\\\end{aligned}$
