Here are the solutions to questions 4-7:
4. A solution of NaOH contains 4.0g of NaOH in 250ml of solution. Calculate the molarity of the solution. (Na=23, O=16, H=1)
Step 1: Calculate the molar mass of NaOH.
MolarmassofNaOH=(1×23)+(1×16)+(1×1)=23+16+1=40g/mol
Step 2: Calculate the number of moles of NaOH.
MolesofNaOH=MolarmassMass=40g/mol4.0g=0.10mol
Step 3: Convert the volume of the solution from milliliters to liters.
Volumeofsolution=250mL=0.250L
Step 4: Calculate the molarity of the solution.
Molarity=Volumeofsolution(L)Molesofsolute=0.250L0.10mol=0.4 M
5. Calculate the mass of Na2CO3 required to prepare 250ml of 0.1M solution. (Na=23, C=12, O=16)
Step 1: Calculate the molar mass of Na2CO3.
MolarmassofNa2CO3=(2×23)+(1×12)+(3×16)=46+12+48=106g/mol
Step 2: Convert the volume of the solution from milliliters to liters.
Volumeofsolution=250mL=0.250L
Step 3: Calculate the number of moles of Na2CO3 required.
MolesofNa2CO3=Molarity×Volume(L)=0.1M×0.250L=0.025mol
Step 4: Calculate the mass of Na2CO3 required.
MassofNa2CO3=Moles×Molarmass=0.025mol×106g/mol=2.65 g
6. Calculate the volume of 0.2M HCl required to neutralize 25ml of 0.1M NaOH. (HCl+NaOH→NaCl+H2O)
Step 1: Write the balanced chemical equation and determine the mole ratio.
The given equation is HCl+NaOH→NaCl+H2O.
From the equation, 1 mole of HCl reacts with 1 mole of NaOH. The mole ratio is 1:1.
Step 2: Convert the volume of NaOH solution from milliliters to liters.
VolumeofNaOH=25mL=0.025L
Step 3: Calculate the number of moles of NaOH.
MolesofNaOH=Molarity×Volume(L)=0.1M×0.025L=0.0025mol
Step 4: Use the mole ratio to find the moles of HCl required.
Since the mole ratio of HCl to NaOH is 1:1,
MolesofHCl=MolesofNaOH=0.0025mol
Step 5: Calculate the volume of HCl solution required.
VolumeofHCl(L)=MolarityofHClMolesofHCl=0.2M0.0025mol=0.0125L
Convert to milliliters:
VolumeofHCl=0.0125L×1000mL/L=12.5 mL
7. Calculate the percentage by mass of water of crystallization in Na2CO3⋅10H2O. (Na=23, C=12, O=16, H=1)
Step 1: Calculate the molar mass of Na2CO3⋅10H2O.
MolarmassofNa2CO3=(2×23)+(1×12)+(3×16)=46+12+48=106g/mol
MolarmassofH2O=(2×1)+(1×16)=2+16=18g/mol
Molarmassof10H2O=10×18=180g/mol
TotalmolarmassofNa2CO3⋅10H2O=106+180=286g/mol
Step 2: Calculate the percentage by mass of water of crystallization.
PercentagebymassofH2O=TotalmolarmassofNa2CO3⋅10H2OMassof10H2O×100%
=286g/mol180g/mol×100%≈62.94%
