What is the molarity of chloride ion in a solution made by dissolving 1.300g of aluminumchloride in a total volume of 500.0mL?

0.0582 M

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Mass of AlCl3 = 1.3 g

Volume of water = 500 mL

Molarity of chloride ion (Cl¯) =?

Next, we shall determine the number of mole in 1.3 g of AlCl3. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass of AlCl3 = 1.3 g

Molar mass of AlCl3 = 27 + (35.5×3)

= 27 + 106.5

= 133.5 g/mol

Mole of AlCl3 =?

Mole = mass /molar mass

Mole of AlCl3 = 1.3/133.5

Mole of AlCl3 = 0.0097 mole

Next, we shall convert 500 mL to litres (L). This can be obtained as follow:

1000 mL = 1 L

Therefore,

500 mL = 500 mL × 1 L / 1000 mL

500 mL = 0.5 L

Thus, 500 mL is equivalent to 0.5 L.

Next, we shall determine the molarity of the AlCl3 solution. This can be obtained as follow:

Mole of AlCl3 = 0.0097 mole

Volume of water = 0.5 L

Molarity of AlCl3 =?

Molarity = mole /Volume

Molarity of AlCl3 = 0.0097 / 0.5

Molarity of AlCl3 = 0.0194 M

Next, we shall write the dissociation equation of AlCl3 in solution. This is illustrated below:

AlCl3 (aq) —> Al³⁺ (aq) + 3Cl¯ (aq)

From the balanced equation above,

1 mole of AlCl3 produced 3 moles of Cl¯.

Finally, we shall determine the molarity of the chloride ion Cl¯ in the solution as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

1 mole of AlCl3 produced 3 moles of Cl¯.

Therefore, 0.0194 M AlCl3 will produce = 0.0194 × 3 = 0.0582 M Cl¯.

Thus, the molarity of the chloride ion, Cl¯ in the solution is 0.0582 M.

explanation:

the largest database of organic compounds lists about 10 million substances, which include compounds originating from living organisms and those synthesized by chemists. the number of potential organic compounds has been estimated at 1060—an astronomically high number. the existence of so many organic molecules is a consequence of the ability of carbon atoms to form up to four strong bonds to other carbon atoms, resulting in chains and rings of many different sizes, shapes, and complexities. the simplest organic compounds contain only the elements carbon and hydrogen, and are called hydrocarbons. even though they are composed of only two types of atoms, there is a wide variety of hydrocarbons because they may consist of varying lengths of chains, branched chains, and rings of carbon atoms, or combinations of these structures. in addition, hydrocarbons may differ in the types of carbon-carbon bonds present in their molecules. many hydrocarbons are found in plants, animals, and their fossils; other hydrocarbons have been prepared in the laboratory. we use hydrocarbons every day, mainly as fuels, such as natural gas, acetylene, propane, butane, and the principal components of gasoline, diesel fuel, and heating oil. the familiar plastics polyethylene, polypropylene, and polystyrene are also hydrocarbons. we can distinguish several types of hydrocarbons by differences in the bonding between carbon atoms. this leads to differences in geometries and in the hybridization of the carbon orbitals.

the atomic number will stay the same no matter how many electrons it has, so it doesn’t decrease nor increase. it’ll only change with a different number of protons
