Complete Question:
A chemist prepares a solution of silver (I) perchlorate (AgCIO4) by measuring out 134.g of silver (I) perchlorate into a 50.ml volumetric flask and filling the flask to the mark with water. Calculate the concentration in mol/L of the silver (I) perchlorate solution. Round your answer to 2 significant digits.
Answer:
13 mol/L
Explanation:
The concentration in mol/L is the molarity of the solution and indicates how much moles have in 1 L of it. So, the molarity (M) is the number of moles (n) divided by the volume (V) in L:
M = n/V
The number of moles is the mass (m) divided by the molar mass (MM). The molar mass of silver(I) perchlorate is 207.319 g/mol, so:
n = 134/207.319
n = 0.646 mol
So, for a volume of 50 mL (0.05 L), the concentration is:
M = 0.646/0.05
M = 12.92 mol/L
Rounded to 2 significant digits, M = 13 mol/L
Volume of tank =
(given)
Since,
So,

For
:

The significant rule for multiplication, states that the number of significant figures in the answer obtained by multiplication is determined by the value with the lowest number of significant digits.
Since, the minimum number of decimal places in the above multiplication operation is 1 so, the final result must be upto 1 decimal place only.

Hence, volume in
is 243.5.
They become more stable because they achieve a full outer shell of valence electrons with the magic number of 8.
