what is the quanity of soluter NiCI2* 6H20 added to the solution in moles solid mass is 8.320 g solution volume is 250 ml
mass of nickel chloride = (solid mass) * (FW of NiCl2 / FW of NiCl2.6H2O) because number of NiCl2 in mol = mass of NiCl2 / FW(NiCl2) So number of NiCl2 is really just: solid mass / (FW of NiCl2.6H2O) this is the quantity in mol of solute added. i am assuming they are asking for the molar concentration, then you find it by: molar concentration = (number of NiCl2 ) / (volume of solution)
numbers to follow later.
BUT WHAT IS THE FORMULA WEIGHT OF NICI2*6H20
THANT IS WHAT I DONT UNDERSTND IS HOW TO CACULATE 6H20
FW is the number of grams of a substance when you have a mol of them. it's the sum of the atomic weights of the atoms in the formula.
give me a sec.
IS IT 237.69108
THAT IS WHAT iGOT
yes
SO NOW WHAT
about 237.6 grams per mol (of NiCl2.6H2O). now divide the solid mass by this number. this gives you the number of NiCl2.6H2O in mol
.03501
NOW HOW DO i FIND THE VOLUME OF THIS IN LITTERS
the volume of the solution? you have it as 250 mL
the "quantity" that the question asks for is the number of NiCl2 (solute) added, i am guessing.
the number of NiCl2 is equal to the number of NiCl2.6H2O
SO HOW DO i FING THE LITTER
OR THE VOLUME
the volume of the solution, it's 0.250 liter (not litter)
they are not asking you for the volume of solute. they want the quantity (or the number of mol). i am guessing of course because i haven't seen the actual question.
OK
WHAT SI THE SOLUTION OF THE MOLARITY
WULLD IT BE 0.350/.250 * 1/ OVER IM STUCK
AM i ON THE RIGHT TRACK
CAN YOU PLEASE SHOW ME
molarity, or molar concentration, is number of NiCl2 over the volume of solution. so it is (number of NiCl2) / (.250 L) the unit is mol per liter. that's all!
IS IT 324.51 / .250
it's 0.0350 mol / .250 liter and it comes out to 0.14 mol per liter. try to verify this yourself.
OK GOT IT THANKS
so it's (number of NiCl2) / (.250 L) = (number of NiCl2.6H2O) / .250 L = (8.320 grams / 237.59 grams per mol) / .250 L = 0.140 mol per liter
the answer should have three sig figs, as in 0.140 not 0.14 (i know, it's a pain in the butt)
