Solutions

Solutions can be considered as homogeneous mixtures which contain two or more than two chemical substances. The chemical substance which is the greater part is defined as solvent. And the chemical substance that is dissolved in a solvent is referred to as solute. Solution chemistry plays an important role in chemistry since it supports many commercial applications of solutions.

A 5.0-L flask contains a mixture of ammonia and nitrogenat 27°C and a total pressure of 3.00 atm. The sample ofgas is allowed to flow from the flask until the pressure inthe flask has fallen to 1.00 atm. The gas that escapes ispassed through 1.50 L of 0.200 M acetic acid. All theammonia in the gas that escapes is absorbed by the solution and turns out to be just sufficient to neutralize theacetic acid present. The volume of the solution does notchange significantly.(a) Will the electrical conductivity of the aqueous solution change significantly as the gas is absorbed? Give equations for any reactions, and calculate the final concentrations of the principal ions present (if any) at the end.(b) Calculate the percentage by mass of ammonia in the flask initially.
