Concept introduction:
The concentration of an ion in solution is expressed in equivalents. One equivalent of an ion can be defined as amount of charge an ion contributes when present in dissolved form. For example, one mole of
The concentration of an electrolyte is often expressed in
To convert one system of unit to another the conversion factors are written such that the unwanted units lie in the denominator and thus are canceled out.
The conversion factor to convert

- The freezing point of a 0.21 m aqueous solution of H2SO4 is -0.796C. (a) What is i? (b) Is the solution made up primarily of (i) H2SO4 molecules only? (ii) H+ and HSO4- ions? (iii) 2H+ and 1SO42- ions?arrow_forwardThe freezing point of a 0.11 m solution of HNO2 is -0.20C. (a) What is i for the solution? (b) Is the solution made (i) of HNO2 molecules only? (ii) of H+ and NO2- only? (iii) of more HNO2 molecules than H+ ions? (iv) primarily of H+ and NO2- ions with some HNO2 molecules?arrow_forwardSupersaturated solutions of most solids in water are prepared by cooling saturated solutions. Supersaturated solutions of most gases in water are prepared by heating saturated solutions. Explain the reasons for the difference in the two procedures.arrow_forward
- Calcium carbonate, CaCO3, can be obtained in a very pure state. Standard solutions of calcium ion are usually prepared by dissolving calcium carbonate in acid. What mass of CaCO3 should be taken to prepare 500. mL of 0.0200 M calcium ion solution?arrow_forwardThe (aq) designation listed after a solute indicates the process of hydration. Using KBr(aq) and C2H5OH(aq) as your examples, explain the process of hydration for soluble ionic compounds and for soluble covalent compounds.arrow_forward
