Finding the Concentration of Ions
How do we determine the number of moles of each ion in a soluble compound? Steps 1)Write out the dissociation equation. (make sure it is balanced) 2)Determine the ratio of the ions ( just like the molar ratio) 3)Use your knowledge of conversions to find the information you need
REMEMBER There are only three numbers you use in chemistry conversions Avagadro’s number = 6.02X10 23 particles 1 mol Molar mass (periodic table) = ?g 1mol Molarity = ? mols (eg. 4M = 4 mol) 1 L 1L
Example 1 How many moles of Ca and Hydroxide are found in a 5g sample of Ca(OH) 2 1) Ca(OH) 2
Example 1 How many moles of Ca and Hydroxide are found in a 5g sample of Ca(OH) 2 1)Ca(OH) 2 Ca OH -1 2)Moles produced:
Example 1 How many moles of Ca and Hydroxide are found in a 5g sample of Ca(OH) 2 1)Ca(OH) 2 Ca OH -1 2)Moles produced: For every 1 mole of Ca(OH) 2 you get 1mol Ca 2+ 2mol OH -1
Example 1 How many moles of Ca and Hydroxide are found in a 5g sample of Ca(OH) 2 1)Ca(OH) 2 Ca OH -1 2)Moles produced: For every 1 mole of Ca(OH) 2 you get 1mol Ca 2+ 2mol OH -1 3) Find the number of moles produced Ca(OH) 2 ?mol = 5g x 1mol = 0.07mol 74.0g
Example 1 How many moles of Ca and Hydroxide are found in a 5g sample of Ca(OH) 2 1)Ca(OH) 2 Ca OH -1 2)Moles produced: For every 1 mole of Ca(OH) 2 you get 1mol Ca 2+ 2mol OH -1 3) Find the number of moles produced Ca(OH) 2 ?mol = 5g x 1mol = 0.07mol 74.0g We produced Ca +2 = 1 x 0.07 = 0.07mol OH -1 = 2 x 0.07 = 0.14mol
