Calculate concentration using graph

OpenStudy (somy):

where is the graph?

OpenStudy (bestustar123):

OpenStudy (bestustar123):

sorry thought i attached it

OpenStudy (somy):

tell me the year and variant of the paper its IGCSE chem paper 6 right?

OpenStudy (bestustar123):

i dont know the year or module i just got send the pic for revision from a friend

OpenStudy (somy):

draw a line from 30 degrees going vertically up till it reaches the curve line

OpenStudy (somy):

then, when u reach the curve by going vertically, now go horizontally to the left to reach the Y axis

OpenStudy (somy):

like this http://prntscr.com/6jxlmy kind of

OpenStudy (somy):

then that value will be your concentration but in different unit so now we gotta convert it to appropriate units

OpenStudy (bestustar123):

yeah that gives me 0.155 but is this the concentration???

OpenStudy (somy):

no not yet

OpenStudy (somy):

g/cm3 is not conc

OpenStudy (somy):

conc = mole / volume and lest replace mole with its formula which is mole = mass / Molecular mass so now \[\sf conc = \frac{ mass}{ Molecular~mass \times volume }\]

OpenStudy (somy):

so taking a close look at formula all you need to do is multiply the value from graph by 1/ molecular mass because \[\sf conc = \frac{ 1 }{ Molecular~mass } \times \frac{ mass }{ volume }\]

OpenStudy (somy):

and then multiply what you get by the value u got from the graph

OpenStudy (bestustar123):

so i do 1.55 times \[\frac{1}{ 74 }\]

OpenStudy (bestustar123):

because 74 is the mr

OpenStudy (somy):

or wait

OpenStudy (somy):

just leave it be 1/74 but now the g/cm3 value divide by 1/1000 first this way its more clear that you are converting cm3 to dm3

OpenStudy (somy):

sorry my error*

OpenStudy (bestustar123):

but 74 is the mr and the mr isnt in cm3 so i dont understand, isnt c=n/v where n is number of moles

OpenStudy (somy):

wait i'll say it in different way

OpenStudy (somy):

1/74 leave it be this is to multiply by g/dm3 value but now there is a problem your value is g/cm3 thus we need to change cm3 to dm3

OpenStudy (somy):

\[\sf g \div \frac{ cm^3 }{ 1000 }\] which changes to \[\sf \frac{ g \times 1000 }{ cm^3 }\]

OpenStudy (somy):

so multiply your graph value by 1000 to change it to g/dm3 is it clear so far?

OpenStudy (bestustar123):

no, i doing understand where the cm3 is coming from, if the graph value is g then what value is the cm3???

OpenStudy (bestustar123):

*dont

OpenStudy (somy):

oh god im so sorry its 100cm3 http://prntscr.com/6jy05f

OpenStudy (bestustar123):

ha dont worry

OpenStudy (somy):

im reaaaaally sorry i'll show it again using this correction now \[\sf \frac{ g \times 1000 }{ 100 ~cm^3 }\] and cancelling zeros in 1000/ 100 = 10 so just multiply your graph value by 10 instead

OpenStudy (somy):

and only then multiply the result by 1/74

OpenStudy (bestustar123):

so 1.55*10*1/74

OpenStudy (somy):

yes

OpenStudy (bestustar123):

so thats a concentration of 0.209 mol dm3, thanks for your help!!!

OpenStudy (somy):

yeah i hope i didnt miss any point this time >_< sorry about that huge error
