Question

Find the total number of moles of ions produced when 0.347 mol of sodium carbonate dissolves.

Answer in Units of moles.

Answer 1

molarity= 0.238 mol L-

Step-by-step explanation:

The idea here is that you need to use the fact that all the moles of sodium phosphate that you dissolve to make this solution will dissociate to produce sodium cations to calculate the concentration of the sodium cations.

Na 3 PO 4 (aq) → Na + (aq) + PO3−4 (aq)

Use the molar mass of sodium phosphate to calculate the number of moles of salt used to make this solution.

3.25g⋅1 mole N 3PO4 163.9g = 0.01983 moles Na3 PO 4

Now, notice that every

1 mole of sodium phosphate that you dissolve in water dissociates to produce

3bmoles of sodium cations in aqueous solution.
