Question

In the laboratory you dissolve 16.5 g of calcium iodide in a volumetric flask and add water to a total volume of 250 mL.

What is the molarity of the solution?  M.

What is the concentration of the calcium cation?  M.

What is the concentration of the iodide anion?  M.

In the laboratory you dissolve 22.5 g of sodium chloride in a volumetric flask and add water to a total volume of 500 mL.

What is the molarity of the solution?  M.

What is the concentration of the sodium cation?  M.

What is the concentration of the chloride anion?  M.

Explanation / Answer

1.

mass of solute ( Calcium iodide) = 16.5 grams

molar mass of CaI2 = 293.9 gram/mole

volume of the solution= 250 ml

Molarity = mass of solute/molare mass of solute x1000/volume of solution in ml

Molarity = 16.5/293.9 x1000/250 = 0.2246M

Molarity of the solution = 0.2246M

CaI2------------------- Ca+2 + 2 I-

concentration of Ca+2 = 0.2246M

Concentration of I- = 2x0.2246 = 0.4492M

2.

mass of NaCl= 22.5 grams

molar mass of NaCl= 58.5 gram/mole

volume of the solution = 500 ml

Molarity of the solution = 22.5/58.5 x1000/500 = 0.769M

Molarity of the solution = 0.769M

NaCl --------------------- Na+ + Cl-

Concentration of Na+ = 0.769M

Concentration of Cl- = 0.769M
