Find [cu2+] in a solution saturated with cu4(oh)6(so4) if [oh − ] is fixed at 2.3 ✕ 10−6 m. note that cu4(oh)6(so4) gives 1 mol

ki77a [65]

$Cu_4(OH)_6(SO_4)$

You have OH- conc = 2.3 ✕ 10−6 m
From the formula, you can observe the ratio of Cu2+ to OH- is 4 : 6 = 2:3

So, for 2.3 ✕ 10−6 m OH-
[Cu2+] = $\frac{2}{3} \times 2.3 \times 10^{-6}$

$= 1.53 \times 10^{-6}

Calculate the molarity of 139 grams of sucrose, C12H22O11, in 2.60 liters of solution.

Allisa [31]

Answer:

to calculate the molarity of the said sucrose,

firstly calculate the moles

which is = Molecular weight of C12H22O11 = 342g/mol

then

moles = 139/342

= 0.41 moles

to calculate Molarity now

Molarity= moles of the solute/volume of solution in liter

=0.41/2.60

=0.158M
