In run 1, you mix 7.9 mL of the 43 g/L MO solution (MO molar mass is 327.33 g/mol), 3.13 mL of the 0.040 M SnCl2 in 2.0 M HCl solution, 5.49 mL of 2.0 M HCl solution, and 3.43 mL of 2.0M NaCl solution. What is the [H3O+]? Remember that there is a contribution of H3O+ from two solutions.

Concentration of H3O⁺  [H3O⁺] = 0.864 M

Explanation:

Given that:

The mass concentration of MO = 43 g/L

The volume of MO = 7.9 mL = 7.9 × 10⁻³ L

Recall that

The mass number of MO = Mass concentration of MO × Volume of MO

The mass number of MO = (43 g/L) * (7.9 × 10⁻³ L)

The mass number of MO =  0.3397 g

number of  moles of MO = (mass number of MO) / (molar mass of MO)

number of  moles of MO = (0.3397 g) / (327.33 g/mol)

moles of MO = 0.00104 mol

The total volume = 7.9 mL + 3.13 mL + 5.49 mL + 3.43 mL

The total volume = 19.95 mL = 19.95 × 10⁻³ L

Concentration of MO [MO} =(number of moles of MO) / (total volume)

[MO] = 0.00104 mol  /  19.95 × 10⁻³ L

[MO] = 5.2130 × 10⁻⁸ M

the number of moles of H3O⁺ = molarity of HCl in the solution × the volume of HCl in solution

the number of moles of H3O⁺ = [(2.0 M) * (3.13 mL)] + [(2.0 M) * (5.49 mL)]

the number of moles of H3O⁺ = 17.24 mmol

Concentration of H3O⁺  [H3O⁺] = (the number of moles of H3O⁺) / (total volume)

Concentration of H3O⁺  [H3O⁺] = (17.24 mmol) / (19.95 mL)

Concentration of H3O⁺  [H3O⁺] = 0.864 M
