Answer to Question #14180 in Chemistry for benjamin nuyles

Question

9) a) Calculate the molarity of a solution made by dissolving 0.0715 mol Na2SO4 in enough water to form 650
mL of solution. b) How many moles of KMnO4 are present in 75.0 mL of a 0.0850 M solution? c) How many
millimeters of 11.6 M HCl solution are needed to obtain 0.105 mol of HCl?

Answer 1

(a) molarity (M) is mol/L, so set this one up as 0.0715 mol/650 mL, then convert mL to L (1000 mL/L). this way your units cancel out and you are left with mol/L = molarity

(b) this is like (a) but in reverse. start with 75.0 mL and convert to L (1L/1000 mL) then multiply by the molarity (0.0850 mol/L). this way "L" cancels out and you are left with your answer in mol.

(c) start with 0.105 mol. multiply by the molarity (1 L/11.6 mol). mol will cancel out and you will be left with your answer in L. then convert from L to mL using the conversion factor, (1000 mL/ 1L)
