the final mass of calcium oxalate monohydrate, CaC2O4 * H2O was 0.5126g. to the correct number of significant figures, what is the molar concentration of Ca2+ in the unknown solution? the final mass of calcium oxalate monohydrate, CaC2O4 * H2O was 0.5126g. to the correct number of significant figures, what is the molar concentration of Ca2+ in the unknown solution? the final mass of calcium oxalate monohydrate, CaC2O4 * H2O was 0.5126g. to the correct number of significant figures, what is the molar concentration of Ca2+ in the unknown solution? the final mass of calcium oxalate monohydrate, CaC2O4 * H2O was 0.5126g. to the correct number of significant figures, what is the molar concentration of Ca2+ in the unknown solution?

Explanation / Answer

0.5126g

CaC2O4*H2O --> H2O + C2O4-2 + Ca+2

MW = CaC2O4 + H2O = 128.097 + 18 = 146.097

mol = mass/MW = 0.5126/146.097 = 0.003508627 mol of CaC2O4*H2O

assume 1 mol of CaC2O4*H2O will give 1 mol of Ca+2

then

0.003508627 mol of Ca+2 is present

the solutoin has 4 significant numbers so

0.003509 M (assuming 1 Liter solution)
