Question

Calculate the new molarity that results when 250.mL of water is added to each of the following solutions.

a) 125 mL of 0.251 M HCI

B) 445 mL of 0.499 M H2SO4

C) 5.25L of 0.101 M HCO3

Answer 1

The answer to your question is 1) 0.037 M 2) 0.32 M 3) 0.096 M

Step-by-step explanation:

a) 125 ml of 0.251 M HCl

-Calculate the moles of HCl

Molarity = moles/volume

-Solve for moles

moles = Molarity x volume

-Substitution

moles = 0.251 x 0.125

= 0.0314

-Calculate the new molarity

Molarity = 0.0314/ (0.125 + 0.250)

-Simplification

Molarity = 0.014/0.375

-Result

Molarity = 0.037 M

2.-

445 ml of 0.499 M of H₂SO₄

-Calculate the number of moles

moles = 0.499 x 0.445

moles = 0.222

-Calculate the new molarity

Molarity = 0.222/(0.445 + 0.25)

Molarity = 0.222/0.695

Molarity = 0.32

3)

5.25 l of HCO₃ 0.101 M

Calculate the number of moles

moles = 0.101 x 5.25

moles = 0.53

-Calculate the Molarity

Molarity = 0.53 / (0.25 + 5.25)

Molarity = 0.53 / 5.5

Molarity = 0.096
