Answer: The concentration of [tex]Ba^{2+}\text{ and }Cl^-[/tex] ions in the solution are 0.0426 M and 0.0852 M respectively
Explanation:
Neutralization reaction is defined as the reaction in which an acid reacts with a base to produce a salt and water molecule.
The chemical equation for the reaction of HCl and barium hydroxide follows:
[tex]2HCl(aq.)+Ba(OH)_2(aq.)\rightarrow BaCl_2(s)+2H_2O(l)[/tex]
- To calculate the concentration of acid, we use the equation given by neutralization reaction:
[tex]n_1M_1V_1=n_2M_2V_2[/tex]
where,
[tex]n_1,M_1\text{ and }V_1[/tex] are the n-factor, molarity and volume of acid which is HCl
[tex]n_2,M_2\text{ and }V_2[/tex] are the n-factor, molarity and volume of base which is [tex]Ba(OH)_2[/tex]
We are given:
[tex]n_1=1\\M_1=?M\\V_1=20.00mL\\n_2=2\\M_2=0.1255M\\V_2=42.50mL[/tex]
Putting values in above equation, we get:
[tex]1\times M_1\times 20.00=1\times 0.1255\times 42.50\\\\M_1=\frac{1\times 0.1255\times 42.50}{1\times 20.00}=0.267M[/tex]
- To calculate the number of moles for given molarity, we use the equation:
[tex]\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution (in L)}}[/tex] .....(1)
Molarity of HCl solution = 0.1255 M
Volume of solution = 42.50 mL = 0.04250 L (Conversion factor: 1 L = 1000 mL)
Putting values in equation 1, we get:
[tex]0.1255M=\frac{\text{Moles of HCl}}{0.04250L}\\\\\text{Moles of HCl}=(0.1255mol/L\times 0.04250L)=5.33\times 10^{-3}mol[/tex]
By Stoichiometry of the reaction:
2 moles of HCl produces 1 mole of barium chloride
So, [tex]5.33\times 10^{-3}mol[/tex] of HCl will produce = [tex]\frac{1}{2}\times 5.33\times 10^{-3}mol=2.665\times 10^{-3}mol[/tex]
- Calculating the concentration of barium chloride by using equation 1:
Moles of barium chloride = [tex]2.665\times 10^{-3}mol[/tex]
Volume of solution = [20.00 + 42.50] mL = 62.5 mL = 0.0625 L
Putting values in equation 1, we get:
[tex]\text{Molarity of barium chloride}=\frac{2.665\times 10^{-3}}{0.0625}=0.0426M[/tex]
1 mole of barium chloride produces 1 mole of barium ions and 2 moles of chloride ions
So, concentration of barium ions = 0.0426 M
Concentration of chloride ions = (2 × 0.0426) = 0.0852 M
Hence, the concentration of [tex]Ba^{2+}\text{ and }Cl^-[/tex] ions in the solution are 0.0426 M and 0.0852 M respectively
