What is a serial dilution?

Chemistry
1 answer:

4 0

A serial dilution is the stepwise dilution of a substance in solution. Usually the dilution factor at each step is constant, resulting in a geometric progression of the concentration in a logarithmic fashion.

Which of the following elements has the strongest ionization energy: Mg or Cl? Define ionization
Mila [183]

Answer:

Cl

Explanation:

The element Cl will have the strongest ionization energy from the given choices. Most non-metals have higher ionization energy compared to metals.

Ionization energy is the energy required to remove the most loosely held electron from the gaseous phase of an atom.

  • As you go from left to right on the periodic table, it increases progressive
  • From top to bottom, the ionization energy reduces significantly.
  • The attractive force between the protons in the nucleus and the electrons plays a very important role.
  • In metals, they have very large atomic radius, the attractive force on the outer electrons is very weak.
  • This is not the case in non-metals

What is the molar out of a solution that contains 33.5g of CaCl2 in 600.0mL of water
omeli [17]

Answer:

Here's what I got.

Explanation:

Interestingly enough, I'm not getting

0.0341% w/v

either. Here's why.

Start by calculating the percent composition of chlorine,

Cl

, in calcium chloride, This will help you calculate the mass of chloride anions,

Cl

−

, present in your sample.

To do that, use the molar mass of calcium chloride, the molar mass of elemental chlorine, and the fact that

1

mole of calcium chloride contains

2

moles of chlorine atoms.

2

×

35.453

g mol

−

1

110.98

g mol

−

1

⋅

100

%

=

63.89% Cl

This means that for every

100 g

of calcium chloride, you get

63.89 g

of chlorine.

As you know, the mass of an ion is approximately equal to the mass of the neutral atom, so you can say that for every

100 g

of calcium chloride, you get

63.89 g

of chloride anions,

Cl

−

.

This implies that your sample contains

0.543

g CaCl

2

⋅

63.89 g Cl

−

100

g CaCl

2

=

0.3469 g Cl

−

Now, in order to find the mass by volume percent concentration of chloride anions in the resulting solution, you must determine the mass of chloride anions present in

100 mL

of this solution.

Since you know that

500 mL

of solution contain

0.3469 g

of chloride anions, you can say that

100 mL

of solution will contain

100

mL solution

⋅

0.3469 g Cl

−

500

mL solution

=

0.06938 g Cl

−

Therefore, you can say that the mass by volume percent concentration of chloride anions will be

% m/v = 0.069% Cl

−

−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−

I'll leave the answer rounded to two sig figs, but keep in mind that you have one significant figure for the volume of the solution.

.

ALTERNATIVE APPROACH

Alternatively, you can start by calculating the number of moles of calcium chloride present in your sample

0.543

g

⋅

1 mole CaCl

2

110.98

g

=

0.004893 moles CaCl

2

To find the molarity of this solution, calculate the number of moles of calcium chloride present in

1 L

=

10

3

mL

of solution by using the fact that you have

0.004893

moles present in

500 mL

of solution.

10

3

mL solution

⋅

0.004893 moles CaCl

2

500

mL solution

=

0.009786 moles CaCl

2

You can thus say your solution has

[

CaCl

2

]

=

0.009786 mol L

−

1

Since every mole of calcium chloride delivers

2

moles of chloride anions to the solution, you can say that you have

[

Cl

−

]

=

2

⋅

0.009786 mol L

−

1

[

Cl

−

]

=

0.01957 mol L

−

This implies that

100 mL

of this solution will contain

100

mL solution

⋅

0.01957 moles Cl

−

10

3

mL solution

=

0.001957 moles Cl

−

Finally, to convert this to grams, use the molar mass of elemental chlorine

0.001957

moles Cl

−

⋅

35.453 g

1

mole Cl

−

=

0.06938 g Cl

−

Once again, you have

% m/v = 0.069% Cl

−

−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−

In reference to the explanation you provided, you have

0.341 g L

−

1

=

0.0341 g/100 mL

=

0.0341% m/v

because you have

1 L

=

10

3

mL

.

However, this solution does not contain

0.341 g

of chloride anions in

1 L

. Using

[

Cl

−

]

=

0.01957 mol L

−

1

you have

n

=

c

⋅

V

so

n

=

0.01957 mol

⋅

10

−

3

mL

−

1

⋅

500

mL

n

=

0.009785 moles

This is how many moles of chloride anions you have in

500 mL

of solution. Consequently,

100 mL

of solution will contain

100

mL solution

⋅

0.009785 moles Cl

−

500

mL solution

=

0.001957 moles Cl

−

So once again, you have

0.06938 g

of chloride anions in

100 mL

of solution, the equivalent of

0.069% m/v

.
