Specific Gravity / Limiting reagent / PPM
« on: September 20, 2011, 08:49:39 PM »
1.Describe the preparation of 600 mL of 1.00M HNO3 (63.0 g/mol) from the commercial reagent that is 71% HNO3 (w/w) and has a specific gravity of 1.43.
I had 1.143g/ mL * 71% * 100 mL/L making it a 12.88 M reagent, then 1mol/12.88 M * 600 mL = 46.6 mL HNO3

2. What mass of solid PbCl2 (278.1 g/mol) is formed when 200.0 mL of 0.125 M Pb2+ is mixed with 400.00 mL of 0.175 M Cl-
I ended up with 20.9 g PbCl2 but really not sure how to work the problem

3. What is the molarity of Cl- in a solution that contains 121.3 ppm of MgCl2 (95.2104 g/mol)? (Assume the density of the solution to be 1.000g/mL)
I had 121.3 mg/L * 1L/1000mL = 0.1213 g/L then 1 mol/95.2104g = 1.27 x 10-3 M

These are the three problems I got wrong and I would love your guys help
Thanks much!

For number 3 you've calculated the molarity of MgCl2 in the solution but there are two Cl- ions per MgCl2.

so just double my result and it should be correct?

Yep. For number 2 do you assume PbCl2 is not soluble at all or do you need the Ksp?

im guessing you assume it isnt since the Ksp is not provided

molar concentations - moles in 1000 ml

2. Take into account which is a limiting reagent!

shoot i actually had 1000 mL but mistyped 100, sorry

also since the specific gravity is 1.43 does it make it 1.143 g/mL or 1.43 g/mL?

also i number two i had .025 moles of Pb added to .05 moles of Cl so I am pretty sure I had the limiting reagent, but do those added up make it .075 moles of PbCl2 or just .025 moles?

Which one is mistyped?

had .025 moles of Pb added to .05 moles of Cl
this is a stoichiometry.
How many moles of Cl- you have?
Which element (ion) is in excess. What does mean?
