Find the weight of NaNO3 in grams (Rounded off to nearest integer), required to make 50 mL of an aqueous solution containing 70 mg per mL of Na+ ions
[Given:Atomic weight in gmol−1[Na:23;N:14;O:16]
Open in App
Solution
Concentration of Na+=70mg/mL WNa in 50 mL solution: 70×50mg=3500mg=3.5g Moles of Na+ in 50 mL solution =3.523mol NaNO3(aq)→Na+(aq)+NO−3(aq) Moles of NaNO3=Moles of Na+=3.523mol Mass of NaNO3=3.523×85=12.94≈13g
