How many moles of ions are present in an ideal solution that is produced by dissolving 22.6 g of Cu(NO 3) 2 in 323 g of water?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Explanation:

Mol weight of  Cu(NO 3) 2 ( trihydrate form )

= 241.6  g

22.6 g of Cu(NO 3) 2

= 22.6 / 241.6

= 1 / 10 mole ( approx )

It will ionise in water as follows

Cu(NO 3) 2  ⇄  Cu ⁺² + 2 NO₃⁻¹

Total ions per molecule = 3 , because at this dilution molecule will be fully ionised.

Total ions per 1 /10 moles  = 3 / 10 moles

= .3 moles.

Answer: 0.360 moles

Explanation:

According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance occupies 22.4 L at STP and contains avogadro's number [tex]6.023\times 10^{23}[/tex] of particles.

To calculate the moles, we use the equation:

[tex]\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}=\frac{22.6g}{187.56g/mol}=0.120moles[/tex]

[tex]Cu(NO_3)_2(aq)\rightarrow Cu^{2+}(aq)+2NO_3^-(aq)[/tex]

1 mole of [tex]Cu(NO_3)_2[/tex] gives = 3 moles of ions

0.120 moles of [tex]Cu(NO_3)_2[/tex] give= [tex]\frac{3}{1}\times 0.120=0.360[/tex] moles of ions.

Thus 0.360 moles of ions are present in an ideal solution that is produced by dissolving 22.6 g of [tex]Cu(NO_3)_2[/tex] in 323 g of water
