Answer:
0.56M of acetate ions
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass of Ba(C₂H₃O₂)₂ = 69g
Volume of water = 970mL = 0.97dm³
Molar mass of Ba(C₂H₃O₂)₂ = 255.415g/mol
Unknown:
Concentration of acetate ion in the final solution = ?
Solution:
Let us represent the dissociation;
Ba(C₂H₃O₂)₂ = Ba²⁺ + 2C₂H₃OO⁻
We see that 1M of will produce 2M of acetate ions
Now, let us find the molarity of the barium acetate;
Molarity =
Number of moles of Ba(C₂H₃O₂)₂ =
Number of moles = = 0.27moles
Molarity of Ba(C₂H₃O₂)₂ = = 0.28M
since 1M of Ba(C₂H₃O₂)₂ will produce 2M of acetate ions
0.28M of Ba(C₂H₃O₂)₂ will produce 2 x 0.28 = 0.56M of acetate ions
