Determine the concentrations of mgcl2, mg2+, and cl− in a solution prepared by dissolving 2.52 × 10−4 g mgcl2 in 2.00 l of water. express all three concentrations in molarity. additionally, express the concentrations of the ionic species in parts per million (ppm).

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of MgCl₂ = 2.52 x 10⁻⁴g

Volume of water = 2L

Unkown:

Concentration of MgCl₂ =?

Concentration of Mg²⁺ = ?

Concentration of Cl⁻ =?

Solution:

  Concentration is defined as the number of moles of a solute contained in a solution.

   Concentration =

 To find the number of moles"

           number of moles =

   Molar mass of MgCl₂ = 24.3 + (2 x 35.5) = 95.3g/mol

       number of moles = = 0.000252moles

 Concentration of MgCl₂ = = 2.64 x 10⁻⁶moldm⁻³

from the formula of the compound;

    1 mole of MgCl₂ contains 1 mole of Mg²⁺

Therefore, 2.64 x 10⁻⁶moldm⁻³ of MgCl₂ will contains 2.64 x 10⁻⁶moldm⁻³ of Mg

Also;

   1 mole of MgCl₂ contains 2 mole of Cl⁻

  2.64 x 10⁻⁶moldm⁻³ contains 2 x 2.64 x 10⁻⁶moldm⁻³; 5.29 x 10⁻⁶moldm⁻³

Expressing in ppm;

               1ppm = 1mg/L

   2.64 x 10⁻⁶moldm⁻³ to mg/L for Mg²⁺

2.64 x 10⁻⁶moldm⁻³  = 2.64 x 10⁻⁶moldm⁻³  x molar mass(g/mol)

                                     = 2.64 x 10⁻⁶moldm⁻³ x 24.3 = 6.43 x 10⁻⁵g/L

    g/L to mg/L; 6.43 x 10⁻⁵g/L x 1000 =   6.43 x 10⁻²mg/L = 6.43 x 10⁻²ppm

5.29 x 10⁻⁶moldm⁻³ to mg/L for Cl⁻;

   5.29 x 10⁻⁶moldm⁻³ = 5.29 x 10⁻⁶moldm⁻³ x 35.5 = 1.88 x 10⁻⁴g/L

   g/L to mg/L; 1.88 x 10⁻⁴g/L x 1000 = 1.88 x 10⁻¹mg/L = 1.88 x 10⁻¹ppm

(b) which contains higher levels of vitamin b, oranges or spinach?

explanation:

you can eliminate a, c, and d because they are questions based on opinions.

the dissociation of nickel hydroxide is follows:

the concentration of hydroxide ion is

the equilibrium constant value of nickel hydroxide is = 6.1 * 10^-^1^6 and thus equilibrium equation can be written as:

thus, concentration of ni is 0.23 * 10^-^4 mol /l
