you dissolve 6.55g of potassium nitrate in enough water to make a 250ml solution. if you add 1.25 l of additional water to this solution.what is the molarity of this new solution.

mols KNO3 = 6.55g/molar mass KNO3 = ?

M = mols/0.250L = ?M (old M)
New M = old M x [250 mL/(250+1250)] = new M IF (and only if) the volumes are additive; i.e., if 250 mL + 1250 mL actually makes EXACTLY 1,500 mL.

You have a 4.0 L steel tank containing hydrogen gas. You are able to heat or cool the tank and meaurse the pressure of the gas.

1.If the temperature is 25degree and the pressure is 3.5 aim ..How many grams of hydrogen does the tank contain.

2.at what temperatue in Celsius would you need a pressure of 5.5 atm?

Use PV = nRT and n = grams/molar mass.

I AM STILL CONFUSE..FOR THE FIRST I CAME OUT WITH .40 BUT FOR NUMBER 2 I STILL CAN FIGURE OUT THAT ONE..PLEASE HELP

I don't thik 0.40 is correct for #1. For #2, I'm not sure what it is asking?

#1.
n = PV/RT = 3.5*4/0.08206*298, then
grams = mols x molar mass. I get something like 1.1 or so. You need to do it a little more accuartely than that.

#2. Could be asking for "What T in celsius is needed to obtain a pressure of 5.5 atm?"
T(in kelvin) = PV/nR = 5.5*4/0.08206*0.572
Then 273+C = K and solve for C.

unbalanced chemical reaction equation:

CaCl2 (aq) + b Na3PO4 (aq)----> c Ca3 (PO4)2(s) + d NaCl (aq)
iF I start with 3.50 g calcium chloride (and sufficient sodium phosphate), what is my theoretical yield of calcium phosphate?

You would do well to post NEW questions as a new question and not tag it to one already answered. Why? Because we often check for new questions before we go back to the older ones; therefore, it COULD get overlooked.

Here is a worked example of how to calculate theoretical yield.

I am try to follow the example but lost.. cant figure out how they got that 420

I don't see a 420 in anything.

To find the molarity of the new solution, we need to calculate the moles of potassium nitrate (KNO3) and determine the volume of the final solution.

Step 1: Calculate the moles of potassium nitrate (KNO3)
To find the moles, we use the formula:

moles = mass / molar mass

The molar mass of potassium nitrate (KNO3) is:
K: 39.10 g/mol
N: 14.01 g/mol
O: 16.00 g/mol (x3)

Adding these values together gives us:
molar mass of KNO3 = 39.10 g/mol + 14.01 g/mol + (16.00 g/mol x 3) = 101.10 g/mol

Now, we can calculate the moles of potassium nitrate using the given mass (6.55 g):
moles of KNO3 = 6.55 g / 101.10 g/mol = 0.0647 mol

Step 2: Determine the volume of the final solution
The initial volume of the solution is 250 mL. When an additional water volume of 1.25 L (1250 mL) is added, the final volume of the solution becomes 250 mL + 1250 mL = 1500 mL.

Step 3: Calculate the molarity of the new solution
Molarity (M) is defined as moles of solute per liter of solution. Since we have already calculated the moles of potassium nitrate (0.0647 mol) and determined the volume of the final solution (1500 mL or 1.5 L), we can now calculate the molarity:

Molarity (M) = moles of solute / volume of solution in liters
Molarity (M) = 0.0647 mol / 1.5 L = 0.043 mol/L or 0.043 M

Therefore, the molarity of the new solution is 0.043 M.
