What is the molarity of a solution that contains 15.0g of naoh per 500.0 ml of solution ​

Chemistry

Answer:

0.4 M

Explanation:

Molarity is defined as moles of solute, which in your case is sodium hydroxide,  

NaOH

, divided by liters of solution.

molarity

=

moles of solute

liters of solution

Notice that the problem provides you with the volume of the solution, but that the volume is expressed in milliliters,  

mL

.

Moreover, you don't have the number of moles of sodium hydroxide, you just have the mass in grams. So, your strategy here will be to

determine how many moles of sodium hydroxide you have in that many grams

convert the volume of the solution from milliliters to liters

So, to get the number of moles of solute, use sodium hydroxide's molar mass, which tells you what the mass of one mole of sodium hydroxide is.

g

⋅

1 mole NaOH

40.0

g

=

0.175 moles NaOH

The volume of the solution in liters will be

500

mL

⋅

1 L

1000

mL

=

0.5 L

Therefore, the molarity of the solution will be

c

=

n

V

c

=

0.175 moles

0.5 L

=

0.35 M

Rounded to one sig fig, the answer will be

c

=

0.4 M

How and why do ionic bonds form?
babymother [125]
Ionic bonds are formed when one of the two atoms that are reacting has excess electrons and transfer the electrons to the atom that is deficient in electrons. During the formation of the ionic bond, one of the reacting atoms will donate electrons and form positive ion.

How many grams of hydrogen are produced if 30.0 g of zinc reacts?
alekssr [168]
<span>0.925 grams if using hydrochloric acid in the reaction. 0.462 grams if using sulfuric acid in the reaction. 0.000 grams if using nitric acid in the reaction. Assuming you're using HCl or a similar acid for this reaction, the equation for the reaction is: Zn + 2 HCl ==> ZnCl2 + H2 So each mole of zinc used, produces 1 mole of hydrogen gas, or 2 moles of hydrogen atoms. So we need to look up the atomic weights of both zinc and hydrogen. Atomic weight zinc = 65.38 Atomic weight hydrogen = 1.00794 Moles zinc = 30.0 g / 65.38 g/mol = 0.458855919 mol Since we produce 2 moles of hydrogen atoms per mole of zinc, multiply by 2 and the atomic weight of hydrogen to get the mass of hydrogen produced. So 0.458855919 * 2 * 1.00794 = 0.92499847 grams. Rounding to 3 significant figures gives 0.925 grams. To show the assumption of the acid used, the balanced equation for sulfuric acid would be Zn2 + H2SO4 ==> Zn(SO4)2 + H2 Which means that for every mole of zinc used, 1 mole of hydrogen gas is generated (half that produced via hydrochloric acid). If nitric acid were used, the reaction is 4Zn + 10HNO3 ==> 4Zn(NO3)2 + N2O + 5H2O Which means that NO hydrogen gas is generated. The only justification for assuming hydrochloric acid is used is that it's a fairly common acid that's easy to obtain. But as shown above with 2 alternative acids, the amount of hydrogen gas generated is very dependent upon the exact chemical reaction occurring and asking "How many grams of hydrogen are produced if 30.0 g of zinc reacts?" is a rather silly question unless you specify EXACTLY what the reaction is.</span>
