Final answer:
To calculate the millimoles of solute in a solution, multiply the moles of solute by 1000. Use the formula millimoles = moles × 1000. For the NaCN solution, the millimoles of solute is 14.5 mmol, and for the CaCO3 solution, it is 2.44 mmol.
Step-by-step explanation:
To calculate the millimoles of solute in a solution, we need to use the formula:
millimoles = moles × 1000
First, we need to calculate the moles of solute by multiplying the molarity (M) by the volume (L). Let's calculate it for each solution:
(a) For the NaCN solution:
moles = molarity × volume = 0.00645 M × 2.25 L = 0.0145 moles
millimoles = 0.0145 moles × 1000 = 14.5 mmol
(b) For the CaCO3 solution:
Since the concentration is given in ppm, we need to convert it to M:
Concentration in M = (ppm ÷ 1000) × (1 mol/L) = (8.89 ppm ÷ 1000) × (1 mol/L) = 8.89 × 10^-6 M
moles = molarity × volume = 8.89 × 10^-6 M × 0.275 L = 0.00244 moles
millimoles = 0.00244 moles × 1000 = 2.44 mmol
