Answer:

0.25 mol/L

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Initial volume (V1) = 4L

Initial concentration (C1) = 0.5 mol/L

Final volume (V2) = 4 + 4 = 8L

Final concentration (C2) =?

Applying the dilution formula, we can easily find the concentration of the diluted solution as follow:

C1V1 = C2V2

0.5 x 4 = C2 x 8

Divide both side by 8

C2 = (0.5 x 4 )/ 8

C2 = 0.25 mol/L

Therefore the concentration of the diluted solution is 0.25 mol/L

We want to calculate the concentrations of all species in a 0.58 M Na 2 SO 3 (sodium sulfite) solution. The ionization constants

NeX [460]

Explanation:

Reaction equation is as follows.

$Na_{2}SO_{3}(s) \rightarrow 2Na^{+}(aq) + SO^{2-}_{3}(aq)$

Here, 1 mole of $Na_{2}SO_{3}$ produces 2 moles of cations.

$[Na^{+}] = 2[Na_{2}SO_{3}] = 2 \times 0.58$

= 1.16 M

$[SO^{2-}_{3}] = [Na_{2}SO_{3}]$ = 0.58 M

The sulphite anion will act as a base and react with $H_{2}O$ to form $HSO^{-}_{3}$ and $OH^{-}$ .

As, $K_{b} = \frac{K_{w}}{K_{a_{2}}}$

= $\frac{10^{-14}}{6.3 \times 10^{-8}}$

= $1.59 \times 10^{-7}$

According to the ICE table for the given reaction,

$SO^{2-}_{3} + H_{2}O \rightleftharpoons HSO^{-}_{3} + OH^{-}$

Initial: 0.58 0 0

Change: -x +x +x

Equilibrium: 0.58 - x x x

So,

$K_{b} = \frac{[HSO^{-}_{3}][OH^{-}]}{[SO^{2-}_{3}]}$

$1.59 \times 10^{-7} = \frac{x^{2}}{0.58 - x}$

$x^{2} = 1.59 \times 10^{-7} \times (0.58 - x)$

x = 0.0003 M

So, x = $[HSO^{-}_{3}] = [OH^{-}]$ = 0.0003 M

$[SO^{2-}_{3}]$ = 0.58 - 0.0003

= 0.579 M

Now, we will use $[HSO^{-}_{3}]$ = 0.0003 M

The reaction will be as follows.

$HSO^{2-}_{3} + H_{2}O \rightleftharpoons H_{2}SO_{3} + OH^{-}$

Initial: 0.0003

Equilibrium: 0.0003 - x x x

$K_{b} = \frac{x^{2}}{0.0003 - x}$

$K_{b} = \frac{K_{w}}{K_{a_{1}}}$

= $\frac{10^{-14}}{1.4 \times 10^{-2}}$

= $7.14 \times 10^{-13}$

Therefore, $7.14 \times 10^{-13} = \frac{x^{2}}{0.0003 - x}$

As, x <<<< 0.0003. So, we can neglect x.

Therefore, $x^{2} = 7.14 \times 10^{-13} \times 0.0003$

= $0.00214 \times 10^{-13}$

x = $0.0146 \times 10^{-6}$

x = $[OH^{-}] = [H_{2}SO_{3}]$ = $1.46 \times 10^{-8}$

$[H^{+}] = \frac{10^{-14}}{[OH^{-}]}$

= $\frac{10^{-14}}{0.0003}$

= $3.33 \times 10^{-11}$ M

Thus, we can conclude that the concentration of spectator ion is $3.33 \times 10^{-11}$ M.

Calculate the molarity of 48.0 mL of 6.00 M H2SO4 diluted to 0.250 L

const2013 [10]

Answer:

The answer is 1.15m.

Since molality is defined as moles of solute divided by kg of solvent, we need to calculated the moles of H2SO4 and the mass of the solvent, which I presume is water.

We can find the number of H2SO4 moles by using its molarity

C=nV→nH2SO4=C⋅VH2SO4=6.00molesL⋅48.0⋅10−3L=0.288

Since water has a density of 1.00kgL, the mass of solvent is

m=ρ⋅Vwater=1.00kgL⋅0.250L=0.250 kg

Therefore, molality is

m=nmass.solvent=0.288moles0.250kg=1.15m

What is the molarity of 5.60 mol of sodium carbonate in 1500 ml of solution?

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

3.74 M

Explanation:

We know that molarity is moles divided by liters. The first thing to do here is convert your 1500 mL of solution to L. There's 1,000 mL in 1 L, so you need to divide 1500 by 1000:

1500 ÷ 1000 = 1.50

Now you can plug your values into the equation for molarity:

5.60 mol ÷ 1.50 L = 3.74 M
