Solid mixture contains MgCl2 and NaCl. When 0.5000 g of this solid is dissolved in enough water to form 1.000 L of solution, the

osmotic pressure at 25°C is observed to be 0.3930 atm. What is the mass percent of MgCl2 in the solid? (Assume ideal behavior for the solution.)

Answer:

83,40 (w/w) %

Explanation:

The osmotic pressure (π) is defined as:

π = iMRT

Where i is Van't Hoff factor (3 for MgCl₂ and 2 for NaCl), M is molarity, R is gas contant (0,082atmL/molK) and T is temperature (298,15K)

iM = π / RT

iM = 0,01607mol/L

It is possible to write:

<em>3x+2y = 0,01607mol/L </em><em>(1)</em>

Where x are moles of MgCl₂ and y moles of NaCl.

<em>-M = moles of each compund because M is molarity (moles/L) and there is 1,000L-</em>

Knowing molar mass of MgCl₂ is 95,2 g/mol and for NaCl is 58,44g/mol:

<em>x×95,211 + y×58,44 = 0,5000g </em><em>(2)</em>

Replacing (2) in (1):

3x+2(0,0086 - 1,629x) = 0,01607mol/L

-0,258x = -0,00113

<em>x = 0,004380 moles of MgCl₂</em>

In grams:

0,004380 moles of MgCl₂×(95,211g/mol) = 0,417g of MgCl₂

Mass percent is:

(0,4170g of MgCl₂/0,5000g of solid) ×100 = <em>83,40 (w/w) %</em>

I hope it helps!

You have 1169.6 g of a bleach solution. The percent by mass of the solute sodium hypochlorite, NaOCl, is 3.62%. How many grams o
Aneli [31]

Answer:

Mass of solvent is 1127.3 g

Explanation:

NaOCl → 3.62%

This percent means, that in 100 g of bleach solution, there are 3.62 g of NaOCl. So let's make a rule of three:

100 g of bleach solution have 3.62 g

1169.6 g of bleach solution may have (1169.6  . 3.62) /100 = 42.3 g

42.3 g is the mass of NaOCl in the solution

Mass of solution = Mass of solvent + Mass of solute

1169.6 g = Mass of solvent + 42.3 g

1169.6 g - 42.3 g = Mass of solvent → 1127.3 g
