A 20.0–milliliter sample of 0.200–molar K2CO3 so­lution is added to 30.0 milliliters of 0.400–mo­lar Ba(NO3)2 solution. Barium carbonate precipi­tates. The concentration of barium ion, Ba2+, in solution after reaction is:

Answer:

0.16 M

Explanation:

Considering:

[tex]Molarity=\frac{Moles\ of\ solute}{Volume\ of\ the\ solution}[/tex]

Or,

[tex]Moles =Molarity \times {Volume\ of\ the\ solution}[/tex]

Given :

For [tex]K_2CO_3[/tex] :

Molarity = 0.200 M

Volume = 20.0 mL

The conversion of mL to L is shown below:

1 mL = 10⁻³ L

Thus, volume = 20.0×10⁻³ L

Thus, moles of [tex]K_2CO_3[/tex] :

[tex]Moles=0.200 \times {20.0\times 10^{-3}}\ moles[/tex]

Moles of [tex]K_2CO_3[/tex]  = 0.004 moles

For [tex]Ba(NO_3)_2[/tex] :

Molarity = 0.400 M

Volume = 30.0 mL

The conversion of mL to L is shown below:

1 mL = 10⁻³ L

Thus, volume = 30.0×10⁻³ L

Thus, moles of [tex]Ba(NO_3)_2[/tex] :

[tex]Moles=0.400 \times {30.0\times 10^{-3}}\ moles[/tex]

Moles of [tex]Ba(NO_3)_2[/tex]  = 0.012 moles

According to the given reaction:

[tex]Ba(NO_3)_2 + K_2CO_3\rightarrow BaCO_3 + 2KNO_3[/tex]

1 mole of [tex]Ba(NO_3)_2[/tex] reacts with 1 mole of [tex]K_2CO_3[/tex]

So,

0.012 mole of [tex]Ba(NO_3)_2[/tex] reacts with 0.012 mole of [tex]K_2CO_3[/tex]

Available mole of [tex]K_2CO_3[/tex] = 0.004 mole

Limiting reagent is the one which is present in small amount. Thus, [tex]K_2CO_3[/tex] is limiting reagent. (0.004 < 0.012)

The formation of the product is governed by the limiting reagent. So,

1 mole of [tex]K_2CO_3[/tex] reacts with 1 mole of [tex]Ba(NO_3)_2[/tex] and gives 1 mole of [tex]BaCO_3[/tex]

0.004 mole of [tex]K_2CO_3[/tex] reacts with 0.004 mole of [tex]Ba(NO_3)_2[/tex] and gives 0.004 mole of [tex]BaCO_3[/tex]

Left moles of [tex]Ba(NO_3)_2[/tex] = 0.012 - 0.004 moles = 0.008 moles

Total volume = 20 + 30 mL = 50 mL = 0.050 L

So,

Concentration of barium ion, [tex]Ba^{2+}[/tex], in solution after reaction is:-

[tex]Molarity=\frac{0.008}{0.050}\ M = 0.16\ M[/tex]
