A solution is prepared by mixing 0.10 L of 0.12 M sodium chloride with 0.23 L of a 0.18 M magnesium chloride solution. What volume of a silver nitrate solution (at 0.200 M) is required to precipitate all the Cl– ion in the solution as AgCl (s)?

Respuesta :

Answer: The volume of silver nitrate solution required is 0.474 L

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles for given molarity, we use the equation:

[tex]\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution (in L)}}[/tex]

  • For sodium chloride:

Molarity of sodium chloride = 0.12 M

Volume of solution = 0.10 L

Putting values in above equation, we get:

[tex]0.12M=\frac{\text{Moles of sodium chloride}}{0.10L}\\\\\text{Moles of sodium chloride}=(0.12mol/L\times 0.10L)=0.012mol[/tex]

1 mole of sodium chloride produces 1 mole of chloride ions and 1 mole of sodium ions

So, moles of chloride ions = 0.012 moles

  • For magnesium chloride:

Molarity of magnesium chloride = 0.18 M

Volume of solution = 0.23 L

Putting values in above equation, we get:

[tex]0.18M=\frac{\text{Moles of magnesium chloride}}{0.23L}\\\\\text{Moles of magnesium chloride}=(0.18mol/L\times 0.23L)=0.0414mol[/tex]

1 mole of magnesium chloride produces 1 mole of magnesium ions and 2 moles of chloride ions

So, moles of chloride ions = [tex](2\times 0.0414)=0.0828moles[/tex]

Total moles of chloride ions = [0.012 + 0.0828] = 0.0948 moles

The chemical equation for the reaction of chloride ions and silver nitrate follows:

[tex]AgNO_3(aq.)+Cl^-(aq.)\rightarrow AgCl(s)+NO_3^-(aq.)[/tex]

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of chloride ions reacts with 1 mole of silver nitrate

So, 0.0948 moles of chloride ions will react with = [tex]\frac{1}{1}\times 0.0948=0.0948mol[/tex] of silver nitrate

  • For silver nitrate:

Molarity of silver nitrate = 0.200 M

Moles of silver nitrate = 0.0948 moles

Putting values in above equation, we get:

[tex]0.200M=\frac{0.0948mol}{\text{Volume of silver nitrate}}\\\\\text{Volume of silver nitrate}=\frac{0.0948mol}{0.200}=0.474L[/tex]

Hence, the volume of silver nitrate solution required is 0.474 L

The volume of silver nitrate solution required is 0.474 L

The molarity, number of moles and volume of a solution are related by the formula:

number of moles = molarity * volume

The moles of chloride ions in each solution is first determined:

number of moles of NaCl = 0.12 * 0.1 = 0.012 moles of NaCl

number of moles of MgCl₂ = 0.18 * 0.23 = 0.0414 moles of MgCl₂

From the dissociation equations of sodium chloride and magnesium chloride:

NaCl (aq) ----> Na⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq)

MgCl₂ (aq) ----> Mg²⁺(aq) + 2 Cl⁻(aq)

1 mole of NaCl produces 1 mole of Cl⁻

0.012 moles of NaCl will produce 0.012 moles of Cl⁻

1 mole of MgCl₂ produces 2 moles of Cl⁻

0.0414 moles of MgCl₂ will produce 2 * 0.0414 moles of Cl⁻ = 0.0828 moles of Cl⁻

Total moles of Cl⁻ ions = 0.012 + 0.0828 = 0.0948 moles of Cl⁻ ions

The volume of silver nitrate solution required is then calculated:

The equation of the reaction between silver ion and chloride ion is given below:

Ag⁺ (aq) + Cl⁻ (aq) ----> AgCl (s)

1 mole of chloride ion reacts with one of silver ion

0.0948 moles of chloride ion will react with 0.0948 moles of silver ions.

AgNO₃ (aq) ----> Ag⁺ (aq) + NO₃⁻ (aq)

1 mole of AgNO₃ produces 1 mole of Ag⁺

0.0948 moles of AgNO₃ will produce 0.0948 moles of  Ag⁺.

Volume of silver nitrate solution required is then obtained from the formula:

Volume = number of moles / molarity

Volume = 0.0948 /0.200 M = 0.474 L

Therefore, the volume of silver nitrate solution required is 0.474 L
