What is the molarity of a solution containing 8.9 g of NaOH in 550. mL of NaOH 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.

If 125g of KClO3 is heated, what is the total mass of the products?​
Andrej [43]

Given parameters:

Mass of KClO₃  = 125g

Unknown:

Total mass of the products = ?

When  KClO₃ is heated, it thermally decomposes to KCl and O₂ according to the chemical equation below;

               2KClO₃  →  2KCl + 3O₂

All chemical equations obeys the law of conservation of matter and with this regard, we know that the amount of reactants used is the same as that of the product.

The total mass of the products must give us 125g according to this law of conservation of matter.

Now to find the masses of each product,

  1. Find the number of moles of the given reactant:

     Number of moles  = \frac{mass}{molar mass}

  molar mass of  KClO₃  = 39 + 35.5 + 3(16)  = 122.5g/mol

    So number of moles of KClO₃ = \frac{125}{122.5}  = 1.02moles

    2. Now, using this number of moles, find the number of moles of the products using this value;

   2 moles of KClO₃ produced 2 moles of KCl

  1.02 moles of KClO₃ will also produce 1.02moles of KCl

   2 moles of KClO₃ produced 3 moles of O₂

   1.02 moles of KClO₃ will produce   \frac{1.02 x 3} {2} mole = 1.53 moles of O₂

   3. Now find the masses of each product;

Mass  = number of moles x molar mass

  molar mass of KCl  = 39 + 35.5 = 74.5g/mol

  molar mass of O₂  = 16 x 2  = 32g/mol

  Mass of KCl  = 74.5 x 1.02  = 75.99g

  Mass of O₂  = 32 x 1.53 = 48.96g

Total mass of products = mass of KCl + Mass of O₂ = 75.99g + 48.96g

                                        = 124.95g

This value is approximately the same as that of mass of  KClO₃

All elements are made up of atoms. ➢ Atoms are made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Two different kinds of atoms can combine to form a compound. A molecule is a combination of atoms that cannot be broken apart while still retaining the same properties as the larger substance that it is a part of.
