Sally has constructed a concentration cell to measure Ksp for MCln. She constructs the cell by adding 2 mL of 0.05 M M(NO3)n to one compartment of the microwell plate. She then makes a solution of MCln by adding KCl to M(NO3)n. She adds 7.903 mL of the resulting mixture to a second compartment of the microwell plate. Sally knows n = +2. She has already calculated [Mn+] in the prepared MCln solution using the Nernst equation. [Mn+] = 8.279 M

Required:
How many moles of [Cl-] must be dissolved in that compartment?

Respuesta :

Answer:

0.1309 mol

Explanation:

From the given information:

The metal ion, two ions of [tex]M^{+}[/tex] reacted with Cl⁻ to form [tex]MCl_n[/tex] i.e. the compound formed is [tex]MCl_2[/tex].

The concentration of the metal ion formed [tex][M^+][/tex] = 8.279 M

The concentration of the chlorine ion formed [tex][Cl^-][/tex] = 2 × 8.279 M

= 16.558 M

We know that:

[tex]\mathsf{Molarity = \dfrac{no \ of \ moles }{volume (mL)}}[/tex]

The number of moles of [tex][Cl^-][/tex] = [tex]16.558 \ mol.L^{-1} \times 7.903 \ mL \times \dfrac{1 \ L}{1000 \ mL}[/tex]

= 0.1309 mol
