A solution is prepared by dissolving 3.57 grams of magnesium bromide, 8.1 grams of ammonium perchlorate, and 1.340 grams of sodium iodide in 325 grams of water. Calculate the total mass of the solution and express the sum in the proper number of significant figures
States of Matter
The substance that constitutes everything in the universe is known as matter. Matter comprises atoms which in turn are composed of electrons, protons, and neutrons. Different atoms combine together to give rise to molecules that act as a foundation for all kinds of substances. There are five states of matter based on their energies of attraction, namely solid, liquid, gases, plasma, and BEC (Bose-Einstein condensates).
Chemical Reactions and Equations
When a chemical species is transformed into another chemical species it is said to have undergone a chemical reaction. It consists of breaking existing bonds and forming new bonds by changing the position of electrons. These reactions are best explained using a chemical equation.
A solution is prepared by dissolving 3.57 grams of magnesium bromide, 8.1 grams of ammonium perchlorate, and 1.340 grams of sodium iodide in 325 grams of water. Calculate the total mass of the solution and express the sum in the proper number of significant figures
- Total mass of solution is the addition of the masses of solute and solvent (in grams).
that is (i.e.), mass of solution(M)= mass of solute(m1) + mass of solvent(m2)
