Can You Calculate The Number Of Moles Of Na+ Ions In 3.80 L Of 0.220 M Na2SO4?

Answer Question

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    1 mole of any substance contains 6.023x(10)^23 atoms of that substance.
    However,  1 molecule of Na2SO4 breaks down to give 2 Na+ ions.
    Thus, 1 mole of Na2SO4 gives 2x6.023x(10)^23 ions of Na+ ions.

    1 mole of Na2SO4 is also equal to its molecular weight i.e.
    2x23+32+4X16 = 46+32+64 = 142 gms.
    Thus,142 gms of Na2SO4 will have 2x6.023x(10)^23 ions of Na+ ions.

    Now lets find the gms of Na2SO4 present in 3.8 L of 0.22M Na2SO4:
    1 M 1 Lit Na2SO4 = 142 gms
    therefore, 0.22 M 1 Lit = 0.22x142 = 31.24gms of Na2SO4.
    therfore, 0.22 M 3.8 Lit = 31.24x3.8 = 118.72 gms of Na2SO4.

    now, 142 gms of Na2SO4 = 2x6.023x(10)^23 Na+ ions.
    Thus, 118.72 gms of Na2SO4 = 2x6.023x(10)^23 x 118.72/142
                                                           = 10.071x(10)^23Na+ ions.

    Thus, 3.80 L of 0.22 M Na2SO4 will contain
    10.071x(10)^23Na+ ions.
