Answers:

1. a) 2.39x10-4 MNa2SO4
b) 4.78x10-4M Na, 2.39x10-4SO42-

2. a) 6.7g KCl
b) 1.4x10-4g Zn(NO3)2
c) 3.22x10-2g NaBr

3. a) 0.1134 M
b) 0.1134 M
c) 0.2267 M

Explanation / Answer

11g / 1000L = (11/23) mol / 1000 L = 4.7826e-4 M Na+

Na2SO4 -> 2Na+ + SO42-

So, if Na+ = 4.78e-4 M, SO42- = 2.39e-4, Na2SO4 = 2.39e-4

-----------

7 ppk K+ = 7/39/1 M = 1.7949e-1 M

KCl --> K+ + Cl-

So, KCL, Cl- will also be 1.7949e-1 M

For 500 ml, 1.7949e-1 / 2 mol = 8.9744e-2 mol = (39+35.5)*8.9744e-2

= 6.686 g = 6.7 g

--------------

1 ppb = 1 e-9

10^2 ppb = 0.10 ppm

Zn(NO3)2---> Zn2+ + 2NO3-

(0.10/65.4) /1000 M Zn2+ = 1.53e-6 M Zn2+

Zn(NO3)2 = 1.53e-6 M x 0.5 L = 0.765 e-6 moles = 0.765e-6 * (65.4 + 2x14 + 2x3x16)

= 1.4e-4 g

---------------------

50.0 ppm Br= from NaBr

(50.0/80)/1000 M = 6.25e-4 M

NaBr ---> Na+ + Br-

So, NaBr = 0.5*6.25e-4*(23 + 80) g = 3.22e-2 g

--------------------

10.63 g in 500 mL of

Cu(NO3)2 ---> Cu2+ + 2NO3-

So, 10.63 / 0.500 / (63.54 + 2x14 + 2x3x16) M = 0.1134 M solution

Cu(NO3)2 = 0.1134 mol

Cu2+ = 0.1134 mol

NO3- = 2 x 0.1134 mol = 0.2267 mol
