The mass percent of $Co^{3+},Cl^{-},H^+\text{ and }O^{2-}$ ions in the compound are 49.28 %, 29.79 %, 2.33 % and 18.63 % respectively

Explanation:

We are given:

Mass of silver chloride = 0.308 grams

Mass of cobalt (III) oxide = 0.145 grams

Mass of sample containing chloride ions = 0.256 grams

Mass of sample containing $Co^{3+}$ ions = 0.416 grams

We know that:

Molar mass of silver chloride = 143.4 g/mol

Molar mass of chlorine ion = 35.45 g/mol

Molar mass of cobalt (III) oxide = 165.86 g/mol

Molar mass of $Co^{3+}$ ion = 117.86 g/mol

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

Molar mass of hydrogen ion = 1 g/mol

Molar mass of oxygen ion = 16 g/mol

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ ......(1)

To calculate the mass percentage of ions in sample, we use the equation:

$\text{Mass of ion}}{\text{Mass of sample}}\times 100$ .......(2)

For chlorine ion:

Calculating moles of AgCl by using equation 1:

Moles of AgCl = $\frac{0.308g}{143.4g/mol}=0.00215mol$

The chemical equation for the ionization of silver chloride follows:

$AgCl\rightarrow Ag^++Cl^-$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of silver chloride produces 1 mole of chlorine ions

So, 0.00215 moles of silver chloride will produce = $\frac{1}{1}\times 0.00215=0.00215mol$ of chloride ions

Mass of chloride ions = $(0.00215mol\times 35.45g/mol)=0.0762g$

Putting values in equation 2, we get:

$\text{Mass percent of chloride ion}=\frac{0.0762g}{0.256g}\times 100\\\\\text{Mass percent of chloride ion}=29.76\%$

Mass percent of chloride ion = 29.76 %

For $Co^{3+}$ ion:

Calculating moles of cobalt (III) oxide by using equation 1:

Moles of cobalt (III) oxide = $\frac{0.145g}{165.86g/mol}=0.00087mol$

The chemical equation for the ionization of cobalt (III) oxide follows:

$Co_2O_3\rightarrow 2Co^{3+}+3O^{2-}$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of cobalt (III) oxide produces 2 moles of cobalt ions

So, 0.00087 moles of cobalt (III) oxide will produce = $\frac{2}{1}\times 0.00087=0.00174mol$ of cobalt ions

Mass of cobalt ions = $(0.00174mol\times 117.86g/mol)=0.205g$

Putting values in equation 2, we get:

$\text{Mass percent of cobalt ion}=\frac{0.205g}{0.416g}\times 100\\\\\text{Mass percent of cobalt ion}=49.28\%$

Mass percent of cobalt ion = 49.28 %

For hydrogen and oxygen ion:

Calculating mass percent of water:

Mass percent of water = 100 - (29.76 + 49.28) = 20.96 %

Let the mass of compound be 100 grams. So, mass of water in the compound will be 20.96 g

For hydrogen:

In 18 grams of water, mass of hydrogen ion present is (1 × 2) = 2 g

So, in 20.96 grams of water, mass of hydrogen ion present will be = $\frac{2}{18}\times 20.96=2.33g$

Putting values in equation 2, we get:

$\text{Mass percent of hydrogen ion}=\frac{2.33g}{100g}\times 100\\\\\text{Mass percent of hydrogen ion}=2.33\%$

Mass percent of hydrogen ion = 2.33 %

For oxygen:

In 18 grams of water, mass of oxygen ion present is (16 × 1) = 16 g

So, in 20.96 grams of water, mass of oxygen ion present will be = $\frac{16}{18}\times 20.96=18.63g$

Putting values in equation 2, we get:

$\text{Mass percent of oxygen ion}=\frac{18.63g}{100g}\times 100\\\\\text{Mass percent of oxygen ion}=18.63\%$

Mass percent of oxygen ion = 18.63 %

Hence, the mass percent of $Co^{3+},Cl^{-},H^+\text{ and }O^{2-}$ ions in the compound are 49.28 %, 29.79 %, 2.33 % and 18.63 % respectively
