Question

9. How many grams of magnesium hydroxide are needed to make 200mL of a 2.5M magnesium hydroxide solution? 10. What is the pH of the room temperature magnesium hydroxide solution produced in problem 9? 11. What is the concentration of a solution with a volume of 3.0 L containing 500g of calcium phosphate? 12. If a 50 mL portion of the solution produced on problem 11 is diluted to a final volume of 75 mL, what is the concentration of the new solution? 13. How much water should be added to 500mL of a 5.0 M silver chloride solution to make a 1.0M solution?

Explanation / Answer

9)

volume , V = 200 mL

= 0.2 L

use:

number of mol,

n = Molarity * Volume

= 2.5*0.2

= 0.5 mol

Molar mass of Mg(OH)2,

MM = 1*MM(Mg) + 2*MM(O) + 2*MM(H)

= 1*24.31 + 2*16.0 + 2*1.008

= 58.326 g/mol

use:

mass of Mg(OH)2,

m = number of mol * molar mass

= 0.5 mol * 58.33 g/mol

= 29.16 g

Answer: 29.2 g

10)

[OH-] = 2*[Mg(OH)2]

= 2*2.5 M

= 5.0 M

use:

pOH = -log [OH-]

= -log (5)

= -0.699

use:

PH = 14 - pOH

= 14 - -0.699

= 14.699

Answer: 14.70
