calculating the concentration of Ions in a Solution
What is the total molar concentration of ions in a 0.350 M solution of the strong electrolyte Na_{2}SO_{4} , assuming complete dissociation?
IDENTIFY
Known | Unknown | ||
Molar concentration of compound (0.350 M Na_{2}SO_{4}) |
Total molar concentration of ions |
STRATEGY
The ions come from the dissociation of Na_{2}SO_{4} , and therefore a reaction for dissolving Na_{2}SO_{4} in water is written. The balanced reaction shows that 3 mol of ions are formed from 1 mol of the compound: 2 mol of Na^{+} and 1 mol of SO^{2-}_{4}.
Na_{2}SO_{4}(s)\overset{H_{2}O}{\longrightarrow }2 Na^{+}(aq) + SO^{2-}_{4}(aq)
