Question

What is the concentration (M) of sodium ion in a solution made by mixing 100. mL of 0.100 M sodium sulfate, 100. mL of 0.50 sodium chloride, and 200. mL of 0.0250 M sodium phosphate? (Assume additive volumes) What is the concentration (M) of sodium ion in a solution made by mixing 100. mL of 0.100 M sodium sulfate, 100. mL of 0.50 sodium chloride, and 200. mL of 0.0250 M sodium phosphate? (Assume additive volumes) What is the concentration (M) of sodium ion in a solution made by mixing 100. mL of 0.100 M sodium sulfate, 100. mL of 0.50 sodium chloride, and 200. mL of 0.0250 M sodium phosphate?

Explanation / Answer

100. mL of 0.100 M sodium sulfate

no ofmoles of sodium sulfate = molarity * volume in L

                                                   = 0.1*0.1 = 0.01 moles of Na2So4

no of moles of Na+     = 2* 0.01 = 0.02 moles of Na+

100. mL of 0.50 sodium chloride

no of moles of NaCl = molarity * volume in L

                                     = 0.5*0.1 = 0.05 moles of NaCl

no of moles of Na+ = 1*0.05 = 0.05 moles

200. mL of 0.0250 M sodium phosphate

no of moles of Na3PO4   = 0.025*0.2 =0.005 moles of Na3PO4

no of moles of Na+ = 3*0.005 = 0.015 moles

Total no of moles of Na+ = 0.02 + 0.05 + 0.015 = 0.085 moles

Total volume = 100+ 100+200 = 400ml = 0.4 L

molarity of Na+ = no of moles/volume in L

                            = 0.085/0.4 = 0.2125M
