Chapter 4.1, Problem 4.2BFP

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Amount of each ion produced when 4mol of lithium carbonate is dissolved in water is to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

A solution is a combination of two parts: solute and solvent. A solute is the substance that is present in small quantity and solvent is the substance in which solute is dissolved. When water acts as a solvent then it is known as an aqueous solution.

Ionic compounds are the compounds that are composed of charged ions. They are held together by electrostatic forces. These compounds dissociate into ions when dissolved in water. Lithium carbonate (Li2CO3) is an example of an ionic compound and dissociates into ions when dissolved in water. The dissociation reaction of Li2CO3 is:

Li2CO3(s)2Li+(aq)+CO32(aq)

The expression to calculate the amount of ions in moles is as follows:

amountofion(mol)=(moles of compound(mol))(moles of ion(mol)1mole of compound)

Answer to Problem 4.2BFP

4mol of lithium carbonate gives 8mol of Li+ ions and 4mol of CO32 ions.

Explanation of Solution

One mole of lithium carbonate (Li2CO3) on dissociation produces two moles of Li+ ion and one mole of CO32 ion.

The expression to calculate the amount of Li+ ion in moles is as follows:

amountofLi+(mol)=(moles of Li2CO3(mol))(moles of Li+ion(mol)1mole of Li2CO3)

Substitute 4mol for moles of Li2CO3 and 2 mol for moles of Li+ ion in the above equation as follows:

amountofLi+(mol)=(4 mol)(2 mol1mole of Li2CO3)=8mol

The expression to calculate the amount of CO32 ion in moles is as follows:

amountofCO32(mol)=(moles of Li2CO3(mol))(moles of CO32ion(mol)1mole of Li2CO3)

Substitute 4mol for moles of Li2CO3 and 1 mol for moles of CO32 ion in the above equation as follows:

amountofCO32(mol)=(4 mol)(1 mol1mole of Li2CO3)=4mol

Conclusion

One mole of lithium carbonate (Li2CO3) on dissociation produces two moles of Li+ ion and one mole of CO32 ion and 4mol of lithium carbonate gives 8mol of Li+ ions and 4mol of CO32 ions.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Amount of each ion produced when 112g of iron(III)sulphate is dissolved in water is to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

A solution is a combination of two parts: solute and solvent. A Solute is the substance that is present in small quantity and solvent is the substance in which solute is dissolved. When water acts as a solvent then it is known as an aqueous solution.

Ionic compounds are the compounds that are composed of charged ions. They are held together by electrostatic forces. These compounds dissociate into ions when dissolved in water. Iron(III)sulphate(Fe2(SO4)3) is an example of an ionic compound and dissociate into ions when dissolved in water. The dissociation reaction of Fe2(SO4)3 is:

Fe2(SO4)3(s)2Fe3+(aq)+3SO42(aq)

The expression to calculate the moles of the compound is as follows:

moles of compound(mol)=[(given mass of compound(g))(1 mole of compoundmolecular mass of compound(g))]

Answer to Problem 4.2BFP

112g of Iron(III)sulphate gives 0.56mol of Fe3+ ion and 0.84mol of SO42 ion.

Explanation of Solution

One mole of iron(III)sulphate(Fe2(SO4)3) on dissociation produces two moles of Fe3+ ion and three moles of SO42 ion.

The molecular mass of Fe2(SO4)3 is 399.88g.

The expression to calculate the moles of Fe2(SO4)3 in moles is as follows:

moles of Fe2(SO4)3(mol)=[(given mass of Fe2(SO4)3(g))(1 mole of Fe2(SO4)3molecular mass of Fe2(SO4)3(g))]

Substitute 112g for the given mass of Fe2(SO4)3 and 399.88g for the molecular mass of Fe2(SO4)3 ion in the above equation as follows:

moles of Fe2(SO4)3(mol)=(112g)(1 mole of Mg(C2H3O2)2399.88gg)=0.2801mol0.28mol

Hence, 112g of Fe2(SO4)3 on dissociation produces double of moles of Fe2(SO4)3 that is 0.56mol of Fe3+ ion and thrice of moles of Fe2(SO4)3 that is 0.84mol of SO42 ion.

Conclusion

112g of Iron(III)sulphate gives 0.56mol of Fe3+ ion and 0.84mol of SO42 ion.

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Amount of each ion produced when 8.09×1022 formula unit of aluminium nitrate is dissolved in water is to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

A solution is a combination of two parts: solute and solvent. A solute is the substance that is present in small quantity and solvent is the substance in which solute is dissolved. When water acts as a solvent then it is known as an aqueous solution.

Ionic compounds are the compounds that are composed of charged ions. They are held together by electrostatic forces. These compounds dissociate into ions when dissolved in water. Aluminium nitrate (Al(NO3)3) is an example of an ionic compound and dissociates into ions when dissolved in water. The dissociation reaction of Al(NO3)3 is:

Al(NO3)3(s)Al3+(aq)+3NO3(aq)

A formula unit is used for the ionic compound to represent their empirical formula. The expression to calculate the moles of the compound is as follows:

moles of compound(mol)=[(given formula unit of compound(FU))(1 mole of compound6.022×1023FU)]

(c)

Expert Solution

Answer to Problem 4.2BFP

8.09×1022 formula unit of aluminium nitrate gives 0.134mol of Al3+ ion and 0.403mol of NO3 ion.

Explanation of Solution

One mole of aluminium nitrate (Al(NO3)3) on dissociation produces one mole of Al3+ ion and three mole of NO3 ion.

The expression to calculate the moles of compound in moles is as follows:

moles of Al(NO3)3(mol)=[(given formula unit of Al(NO3)3(FU))(1 mole of Al(NO3)36.022×1023FU)]

Substitute 8.09×1022FU formula unit for given formula unit of Al(NO3)3 in the above equation as follows:

moles of Al(NO3)3(mol)=(8.09×1022FU)(1 mole of Al(NO3)36.022×1023FU)=0.1343mol0.134mol

Hence, 8.09×1022FU of Al(NO3)3 on dissociation produces 0.134mol of Al3+ ion and thrice of that number of NO3 ion that is 0.403mol.

Conclusion

8.09×1022FU of Al(NO3)3 on dissociation produces 0.134mol of Al3+ ion and thrice of that number of NO3 ion that is 0.403mol.
