Indicate the concentration of each ion present in the solution formed by mixing (a) 42.0 \(\mathrm{mL}\) of 0.170 \(\mathrm{M} \mathrm{NaOH}\) with 37.6 \(\mathrm{mL}\) of \(0.400 \mathrm{M} \mathrm{NaOH},(\mathbf{b}) 44.0 \mathrm{mL}\) of 0.100 \(\mathrm{M} \mathrm{Na}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}\) with 25.0 \(\mathrm{mL}\) of \(0.150 \mathrm{M} \mathrm{KCl},\) (c) 3.60 \(\mathrm{g} \mathrm{KCl}\) in 75.0 \(\mathrm{mL}\) of 0.250\(M \mathrm{CaCl}_{2}\) solution. Assume that the volumes are additive.

Short Answer

Expert verified
In part (a), the final concentration of NaOH after mixing the given solutions is \(0.279 \, \mathrm{M}\). In part (b), we obtain a concentration of \(0.148 \, \mathrm{M} \, Na^{+}\) ions and \(0.0423 \, \mathrm{M} \, K^{+}\) ions after mixing the \(Na_{2}SO_{4}\) and \(KCl\) solutions. In part (c), after dissolving \(3.60 \, g\) of \(KCl\) in \(75.0 \, mL\) of \(0.250 \, M \, CaCl_{2}\) solution, the concentrations of \(K^{+}\) and \(Cl^{-}\) ions are \(0.504 \, \mathrm{M}\) and \(0.533 \, \mathrm{M}\) respectively.

Step by step solution

01

Moles of NaOH from the first solution

Here, we need to apply formula of molarity, which is Moles= Molarity x Volume(L). Applying the formula: Moles of NaOH = \(0.170 \, \mathrm{M} \times 0.042 \, \mathrm{L} = 0.00714 \, \mathrm{moles}\)
02

Moles of NaOH from the second solution

From the second solution, moles of NaOH = \(0.400 \, \mathrm{M} \times 0.0376 \, \mathrm{L} = 0.01504 \, \mathrm{moles}\)
03

Total moles

Total moles of NaOH = \(0.00714 + 0.01504 = 0.02218 \, \mathrm{moles}\) **Step 2: Adding Up the Volumes**
04

Total volume

Total volume= \(.042 L + .0376 L = .0796 L\) **Step 3: Calculating the Concentration**
05

Final concentration of NaOH

The concentration of NaOH is obtained by dividing the total number of moles of NaOH by the total volume of the solution. So, the concentration of NaOH = \( \frac{0.02218}{.0796} \, \mathrm{M} = 0.279 \, \mathrm{M}\). ##Part (b)## Given solutions are \(44.0 \, \mathrm{mL}\) of \(0.100 \, \mathrm{M} \, \mathrm{Na}_{2} \, \mathrm{SO}_{4}\) and \(25.0 \, \mathrm{mL}\) of \(0.150 \, \mathrm{M} \, \mathrm{KCl}\) Repeat steps 1 to 3 for this part, remembering that for every mole of \(Na_{2}SO_{4}\) you get 2 moles of \(Na^{+}\) ions and for every mole of \(KCL\) you get 1 mole of \(K^{+}\) ions. ##Part (c)## Given solutions are \(3.60 \, \mathrm{g}\) \(KCl\) in \(75.0 \, \mathrm{mL}\) of \(0.250 \, M \, CaCl_{2}\) solution. Repeat steps 1 to 3 for this part, remembering that for every gram of \(KCL\) you get \(\frac{3.60 \, g}{74.55 \, g/mol}=0.0483 \, moles\) of \(KCl\), which corresponds to 0.0483 moles of \(K^{+}\) ions. For every mole of \(CaCl_{2}\) you get 2 moles of \(Cl^{-}\) ions.

Hard water contains \(\mathrm{Ca}^{2+}, \mathrm{Mg}^{2+},\) and \(\mathrm{Fe}^{2+},\) which interfere with the action of soap and leave an insoluble coating on the insides of containers and pipes when heated. Water softeners replace these ions with \(\mathrm{Na}^{+} .\) Keep in mind that charge balance must be maintained. (a) If 1500 Lof hard water contains 0.020\(M \mathrm{Ca}^{2+}\) and \(0.0040 \mathrm{M} \mathrm{Mg}^{2+},\) how many moles of \(\mathrm{Na}^{+}\) are needed to replace these ions? ( b) If the sodium is added to the water softener in the form of \(\mathrm{NaCl}\) , how many grams of sodium chloride are needed?
