Chapter 4: Problem 112

The average concentration of bromide ion in seawater is \(65 \mathrm{mg}\) of bromide ion per \(\mathrm{kg}\) of seawater. What is the molarity of the bromide ion if the density of the seawater is \(1.025 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{mL}\) ?

Short Answer

Expert verified
The molarity of the bromide ion in seawater is approximately \(8.339 \times 10^{-4} M\).

Step by step solution

01

Find the mass of bromide ion per liter of seawater.

Given, the average concentration of bromide ion is 65 mg of bromide ion per kg of seawater. To convert this to the amount of bromide ion per liter of seawater, we will first find the mass of seawater in 1 liter and then multiply it by the concentration. The density of the seawater is given as 1.025 g/mL. Convert this to kg/L: Density = \(1.025 \frac{g}{mL} \times \frac{1000g}{1kg} \times \frac{1L}{1000mL}\) = 1.025 kg/L Now, we have 65 mg of bromide ion per 1.025 kg of seawater. To find the mass of bromide in 1 liter of seawater, we will multiply the density by the concentration: Mass of bromide ion in 1L seawater = concentration 脳 mass of seawater in 1L = 65 mg/kg 脳 1.025 kg/L = 66.625 mg/L
02

Convert mass to moles.

To find the molarity, we need the number of moles of the bromide ion in 1 liter of seawater. We have already found the mass of the bromide ion in 1L of seawater. Now convert this mass from milligrams (mg) to moles using the molar mass of the bromide ion (Br鈦�). The molar mass of bromide ion (Br鈦�) is 79.904 g/mol. Number of moles = \(\frac{mass}{molar\ mass}\) Convert 66.625 mg to grams: 66.625 mg = \(\frac{66.625}{1000}\)g = 0.066625 g Now, find the moles of the bromide ion: Moles of bromide ion = \(\frac{0.066625g}{79.904 g/mol}\) = 8.339 x 10鈦烩伌 moles
03

Calculate the molarity.

Now that we have the number of moles of the bromide ion in 1L of seawater, we can find the molarity. Molarity is defined as the number of moles of solute per liter of solution. Molarity = \( \frac{moles \:of\:solute}{liters\:of\:solution} \) In this case, the moles of solute are the moles of bromide ion, which we found in step 2, and the liters of solution is 1L of seawater. Molarity of bromide ion = \(\frac{8.339 \times 10^{-4} \:moles}{1 L}\) = 8.339 x 10鈦烩伌 M So, the molarity of the bromide ion in seawater is approximately 8.339 x 10鈦烩伌 M.

Because theoxide ion is basic, metal oxides react readily with acids. (a) Write the net ionic equation for the following reaction: $$ \mathrm{FeO}(s)+2 \mathrm{HClO}_{4}(a q) \longrightarrow \mathrm{Fe}\left(\mathrm{ClO}_{4}\right)_{2}(a q)+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(l) $$ (b) Based on the equation in part (a), write the net ionic equation for the reaction that occurs between \(\mathrm{NiO}(s)\) and an aqueous solution of nitric acid.

Lanthanum metal forms cations with a charge of \(3+\). Consider the following observations about the chemistry of lanthanum: When lanthanum metal is exposed to air, a white solid (compound \(\mathrm{A}\) ) is formed that contains lanthanum and one other element. When lanthanum metal is added to water, gas bubbles are observed and a different white solid (compound B) is formed. Both \(\mathrm{A}\) and \(\mathrm{B}\) dissolve in hydrochloric acid to give a clear solution. When either of these solutions is evaporated, a soluble white solid (compound \(\mathrm{C}\) ) remains. If compound \(\mathrm{C}\) is dissolved in water and sulfuric acid is added, a white precipitate (compound D) forms. (a) Propose identities for the substances \(\mathrm{A}, \mathrm{B}, \mathrm{C}\), and \(\mathrm{D}\). (b) Write net ionic equations for all the reactions described. (c) Based on the preceding observations, what can be said about the position of lanthanum in the activity series (Table 4.5)?

Specify what ions are present in solution upon dissolving each of the following substances in water: (a) \(\mathrm{ZnCl}_{2}\), (b) \(\mathrm{HNO}_{3}\) (c) \(\left(\mathrm{NH}_{4}\right)_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}\), (d) \(\mathrm{Ca}(\mathrm{OH})_{2}\).

A \(3.455-\mathrm{g}\) sample of a mixture was analyzed for barium ion by adding a small excess of sulfuric acid to an aqueous solution of the sample. The resultant reaction produced a precipitate of barium sulfate, which was collected by filtration, washed, dried, and weighed. If \(0.2815 \mathrm{~g}\) of barium sulfate was obtained, what was the mass percentage of barium in the sample?

Using the activity series(Table 4.5), write balanced chemical equations for the following reactions. If no reaction occurs, simply write NR. (a) Iron metal is added to a solution of copper(II) nitrate; (b) zinc metal is added to a solution of magnesium sulfate; (c) hydrobromic acid is added to tin metal; (d) hydrogen gas is bubbled through an aqueous solution of nickel(II) chloride; (e) aluminum metal is added to a solution of cobalt(II) sulfate.
