Explanation / Answer
1. molarity of solution = moles of solute/ volume of solution (in lit)
given mass of barium acetate = 12.6 gram; molar mass of C4H6O4Ba (barium acetate) = 255.43 g/mol
moles of barium acetate= 12.6/255.43 = 0.0493 mol
molarity = 0.0493/0.25 =0.1973 mol/lit orv (M)
concentration of barium cation = 0.1973 M ( because each mole of barium acetate gives 1 mol of Ba2+)
concentration of acetate anion = 2x 0.1973 = 0.3946 M
2.mass of KF = 13.7 gram, molar mass of KF =58.09
moles of KF = 13.7/58.09 = 0.2358 mol
concentration of KF = 0.2358 mol/ 0.375 lit =0.6289 M
since each mol of KF gives one mol of K+ and on mol of F-
concentration of K+ = 0.6289 M
concentration of F- = 0.6289 M
3.mass of Iron(II) acetate = 173.93 g/mol
=> moles of Iron(II) acetate = 20.8g/ 173.93 g/mol = 0.1195 mol
concentration of Iron(II) acetate = 0.1195/0.25 =0.4783 M
since Iron(II) acetate is Fe(C2H3O2)2
therefore concentration of iron 2+ = concentration of Iron(II) acetate = 0.4783 M
concentration of acetate ion = 2xconcentration of Iron(II) acetate = 2x 0.4783 =0.9567 M
