A 23.6 g sample of NagPO4 (molar mass 163.94 g/mol) is dissolved in enough water to produce
g
750. mL of solution.
Calculate the concentration of Nations in solution.


Sagot :

Taking into account the definition of molarity,  the concentration of Na₃PO₄ in solution is 0.192[tex]\frac{moles}{lliter}[/tex].

Definition of molarity

Molar concentration or molarity is a measure of the concentration of a solute in a solution and indicates the number of moles of solute that are dissolved in a given volume.

The molarity of a solution is calculated by dividing the moles of solute by the volume of the solution:

[tex]Molarity=\frac{number of moles}{volume}[/tex]

Molarity is expressed in units [tex]\frac{moles}{lliter}[/tex].

Concentration of Na₃PO₄ in solution

Being the molar mass of Na₃PO₄ 163.94 g/mole, that is, the amount of mass that a substance contains in one mole, the amount of moles that contains 23.6 g sample of Na₃PO₄ is calculated as:

[tex]23.6 gramsx\frac{1 mole}{163.94 grams} = 0.144 moles[/tex]

Then you know:

  • number of moles= 0.144 moles
  • volume= 750 mL= 0.750 L (being 1000 mL= 1 L)

Replacing in the definition of molarity:

[tex]Molarity=\frac{0.144 moles}{0.750 L}[/tex]

Solving:

Molarity= 0.192[tex]\frac{moles}{lliter}[/tex]

Finally, the concentration of Na₃PO₄ in solution is 0.192[tex]\frac{moles}{lliter}[/tex].
