• The concentration of ions in solution depends on the
mole ratio between the dissolved substance and the cations and anions in solution. • NaCl(aq) Na+(aq) + Cl- (aq) • Sodium chloride dissociates into Na+ cations and Cl- ions when dissolved in water. Notice that 1 mole of NaCl will produce 1 mole of Na+ and 1 mole of Cl- • Thus, if you have a NaCl solution with a concentration of 1.0M, the concentration of the Na+ ion will be 1.0M and the concentration of the Cl- ion will be 1.0M as well. • Assume you have a 1.0M Na2SO4 solution. • Na2SO4 (aq) 2Na+(aq) +SO42-(aq) • The mole ratio between Na2SO4 is 1:2 which means that 1 mole of the former will produce 2 moles of the latter in solution. This means that the concentration of the Na+ ions will be • 1.0M x 2 moles Na+ = 2.0M 1 mole Na2SO4 • Ccompound = nCompound/V • V = nCompound/Ccompound • Cion = nion/V =nion x I/V =nion x Ccompound/ncompound • Cion = Ccompound x nion/ncompound 15.7 Stoichiometry of Solution Reactions •Write a balanced equation •Calculate the # of moles of reactants •Determine limiting reactant •Calculate # of moles of other reactant or product, as required •Convert to grams (or other units) Example: Calculate the mass of solid NaCl that must be added to 1.50 L of a 0.100 M AgNO3 solution to precipitate all of the Ag+ ions in the form of AgCl. And, calculate the mass of AgCl formed. AgNO3 + NaCl AgCl(s) + NaNO3 1.50 L x 0.100 mol/1 L = 0.150 mol Ag+ ions We need 0.150 mol Cl- ions. We need 0.150 mol of NaCl(s): 0.150 mol NaCl x 58.4 g/1 mol = 8.76 g NaCl needed 0.150 mol AgCl x 143.3 g AgCl/1 mol = 21.5 g AgCl will precipitate (Note: copy error in this problem!!) Problem: When Ba(NO3)2 and K2CrO4 react in aqueous solution, the yellow solid BaCrO4 is formed. Calculate the mass of BaCrO4 that forms when 3.50 x 10-3 mole of Ba(NO3)2 is dissolved in 265 mL of 0.0100 M K2CrO4 solution. Ba(NO3)2 + K2CrO4 BaCrO4 (s) + 2KNO3 (aq) 3.50 x 10-3 mol Mol of CrO42-: 0.265 L x 0.0100 mol/1 L = 0.00265
Reacts in a 1:1 ratio (hint: which is the LR?)
You will make 2.65 x 10-3 mol of BaCrO4. 2.65 x 10-3 mol x 253.3 g/1 mol = 0.671 g Calculating Ion Concentrations from Molarity Give the concentrations of all the ions in each of the following solutions: a. 0.50 M Co(NO3)2 (0.50 M Co2+, 1.0 M NO3-)
