Question

1. In what total volume (mL) must 331.3 mg of NaOH be dissolved in order to make a solution with a molar analytical concentration of 0.353 M?

2. What mass in grams of sodium carbonate, Na2CO3, must be used to make 1.94 L of a solution in which the equilibrium concentration of Na+ is 0.835 M?

3. What mass in grams of barium chloride monohydrate, BaCl2•H2O, must be used to make 2.83 L of a solution in which the equilibrium concentration of Cl- is 0.873 M?

4. For the following dissociation of acetic acid, K = 1.76 x 10-5: CH3COOH CH3COO- + H+

Sodium acetate completely dissociates in solution according to the following reaction:NaCH3COO Na+ + CH3COO-

What volume in mL of 4.85 M acetic acid must be added to 99.95 mg of sodium acetate, such that when diluted with water to a final volume of 566.2 mL, the equilibrium concentration of H+ is 5.97 x 10-5 M?

Explanation / Answer

1. molarity = moles/L of solution

moles = g of solute/molar mass

molar mass of NaOH = 40 g/mol

So, To get a molarity of 0.353 M,

Volume = 0.3313/(0.353 x 40) = 0.0235 L = 23.5 mL is required

2. 1 mole of Na2CO3 has 2 moles of Na+

that is, 106 g of Na2CO3 has 80 g of Na+

[Na+] = 0.835 M

So, [Na2CO3] = 1/2 x 0.835 M = 0.4175 M

mass of Na2CO3 required would be = 0.4175 M x 106 g/mol x 1.94 L = 85.855 g

3. 1 mole of BaCl2.2H2O has 2 moles of Cl-

that is, 226.245 g of BaCl2 has 70 g of Cl-

[Cl-] = 0.873 M

So, [BaCl2.H2O] = 1/2 x 0.873 = 0.4365 mole

mass of BaCl2.H2O required would be = 0.4365 mole/L x 226.245 g/mole x 2.83 L = 279.45 g

4. [H+] = 5.97 x 10^-5 M

[CH3COOH] = 4.85 M

K = 1.76 x 10^-5 = [CH3COO-][H+]/[CH3COOH] = [CH3COO-](5.97 x 10^-5)/(4.85)

[CH3COO-] = 1.43 M

moles of sodium acetate = 0.09995/82.0343 = 1.22 x 10^-3 mole

Molarity of sodium actetate in final solution = 1.22 x 10^-3/0.5662 = 2.155 x 10^-3 M

So, to get 2.155 x 10^-3 M we would need = 2.155 x 10^-3 x 0.5662/1.43 = 8.53 x 10^-4 L = 0.853 mL of acetic acid is required

thus we would need 0.853 mL of 4.85 M acetic acid to get final H+ as 5.97 x 10^-5 M
