Respuesta :

Answer:

297.1 mL of 1.0 M sodium sulfate has smallest number of ions.

Explanation:

[tex]Moles (n)=Molarity(M)\times Volume (L)[/tex]

A) 156.5 mL of 2.0 M iron(III) chloride

Volume of iron(III) chloride solution = 156.5 mL = 0.1565 L

Molarity of the iron(III) chloride  = 2.0 M

Moles of iron(III) chloride = n

[tex]n=2.0 M\times 0.1565 L=0.313 mol[/tex]

1 mole of  iron(III) chloride gives 1 mol ferric ion and 3 mol chloride ions.

Number of ferric ions = 0.313 mol

Number of chloride ions =  0.313 mol × 3 = 0.939 mol

Total moles of ions = 1.252 moles

B) 521.4 mL of 1.0 M lithium nitrate:

Volume of lithium nitrate solution = 521.4 mL = 0.5214 L

Molarity of the lithium nitrate  = 1.0 M

Moles of lithium nitrate  = n

[tex]n=1.0 M\times 0.5214 L=0.5214 mol[/tex]

1 mole of  lithium nitrate  gives 1 mol lithium ion and 1 mol nitrate ions.

Number of lithium ions = 0.5214 mol

Number of nitrate ions = 0.5214 mol

Total moles of ions = 1.0428 mol

C)  374.3 mL of 2.0 M potassium hydroxide :

Volume of potassium hydroxide solution = 374.3 mL = 0.3743 L

Molarity of the potassium hydroxide  = 2.0 M

Moles of potassium hydroxide  = n

[tex]n=2.0 M\times 0.3743 L=0.7486 mol[/tex]

1 mole of  potassium hydroxide  gives 1 mol potassium ion and 1 mol hydroxide ions.

Number of potassium ions = 0.7486 mol

Number of hydroxide ions = 0.7486  mol

Total moles of ions = 1.4972 mol

E) 297.1 mL of 1.0 M sodium sulfate:

Volume of  sodium sulfate solution = 297.1 mL = 0.2971 L

Molarity of the  sodium sulfate  = 1.0 M

Moles of  sodium sulfate  = n

[tex]n=1.0 M\times 0.2971 L=0.2971 mol[/tex]

1 mole of   sodium sulfate gives 1 mol sodium ion and 2 mol sulafte ions.

Number of sodium ions = 0.2971 mol

Number of sulfate ions = 0.2971 mol × 2 = 0.5942 mol

Total moles of ion = 0.8913 mol

Higher the number of moles more with number of ions in the solution and vice-versa.

297.1 mL of 1.0 M sodium sulfate has smallest number of ions.

Iron III chloride contains the smallest number of ions.

For iron(III) chloride (FeCl3);

Number of moles of Fe^3+ = 1/3 × 156.5/1000 × 2 = 0.104 moles

Number of moles of Cl^- = (156.5/1000 × 2) = 0.313 moles

Total number of moles of ions =  0.104 moles +  0.313 moles = 0.417 moles

1 mole of ions contains 6.02 × 10^23 ions

0.417 moles of ions contain  0.417 moles × 6.02 × 10^23 ions/1 mole

= 2.5  × 10^23 ions

For lithium nitrate(LiNO3);

Number of moles of Li^+ = 521.4/1000 ×  1 = 0.521 moles

Number of moles of NO3^- = 521.4/1000 ×  1 = 0.521 moles

Total number of moles of ions = 0.521 moles + 0.521 moles = 1.042 moles

1 mole of ions contain  6.02 × 10^23 ions

1.042 moles contain 1.042 moles ×  6.02 × 10^23 ions/1 mole

= 6.27  × 10^23 ions

For potassium hydroxide (KOH);

Number of moles of K^+ =  374.3/1000 × 2 = 0.749 moles

Number of moles of OH^- = 374.3/1000 × 2 = 0.749 moles

Total number of moles of ions =  0.749 moles + 0.749 moles = 1.498 moles

1 mole of ions contain  6.02 × 10^23 ions

1.498 moles of ions contain  1.498 moles  ×  6.02 × 10^23 ions/1 mole

= 9.02  × 10^23 ions

For sodium sulfate(Na2SO4);

Number of moles of Na^+ =297.1 /1000  × 1 = 0.297 moles

Number of moles of SO4^2- =  1/2  × 297.1 /1000  × 1 =0.149 moles

Total number of moles = 0.297 moles + 0.149 moles = 0.446 moles

1 mole of ions contain   6.02 × 10^23 ions

0.446 moles of ions contain  0.446 moles ×  6.02 × 10^23 ions/1 mole

= 2.68 × 10^23 ions

Hence Iron III chloride contains the smallest number of ions.
