Due Wed. ApriL 11, 2001 COMP. HMWRK: Solubility Eq. 1-3

  1. A 1.37 M solution of citric acid (H3C6H5O7) in water has a density of 1.10g/cm3.

Or MW citric acid = 192.124

A 0.688 m solution of citric acid (H3C6H5O7) in water has a density of 1.049g/cm3.

Calculate the

  1. mass percent = mass of solute / mass of solution x 100%

    1. g/mL x 1000 mL/L = 1100 g/L

1.37 mol/L x 192.124 g/mol = 263.21 g/L

(263.21 g citric acid/L / 1100 g/L solution) x 100% = 23.93%

mass % = |_23.9%_______

b. molality / Molarity = moles solute / kg solvent

g H2O = 1100 g solution – 263.2 g citric acid= 836.8 g = 0.8368 kg

1.37 mol / 0.8368 kg = 1.637 m

m = |__1.64 m___________

c. mole fraction citric acid = mol solute / total moles

1.37 mol / (1.37 + 835.8/18.02) = 1.37 / (1.37 + 46.44) = 1.37 mol / 47.807 mol = 0.02896

X = |_0.0287____________

  1. mass percent =
  2. 0.688 mol x 263.21 g/mol = 132.18 g citric acid per 1000 g H2O

    100% x 132.2 g citric acid / (1000 g H2O + 132.2 g citric) = 100% x 132.2/1132.2 = 11.67%

    mass% = |_11.7%________

  3. Molarity = mol solute / liter of solution
  4. D = M/V; V = M/D = 1132.2 g solution / 1.049 g/mL = 1079.3 mL = 1.0793 L

    0.688 mol / 1.079 L = 0.6374 M

    M = |__0.637 M_________

  5. mol fraction citric acid

0.688 mol / (0.688 mol + 1000 g H2O/18.02 g/mol) = 0.688 / )0.688+55.49) = 0.688 / 56.18 = 0.01224

Ksp. = |__1.10 x 10-6 ____

This is a case such as described in the book such that you would expect ion pairing (“high” charges) and this Ksp to be significantly different than that you find in a table of thermodynamic Ksp’s.

9. Chalk is CaCO3 and at 25oC its Ksp = 4.5 x 109, What is the molar solubility of calcium carbonate? How many grams will dissolve in 100 ml of aqueous solution? MW = 100.09 g/mol

Ksp = [Ca2+][F-]2 = [x][2x + 0.50]2 ~ [x][0.50]2

x ~ 4.9 x 10-11 / (0.50)2 = 1.96 x 10-10 M

Sol. = |_2.0 x 10-10 M________

b. 0.25 M CaCl2 à 0.25 M Ca2+; Cl- is a spectator ion.

xKsp = [Ca2+][F-]2 = [x + 0.25][2x]2 ~ [.25][2x]2 ~ .25 x 4 x2

x ~ (4.9 x 10-11 / (1.00)1/2 = 7.0 x 10-6 M

Sol. = |_7.0 x 10-6 M_________

Expect both common ion situations to be less soluble than in pure water (2.3 x 10-4 M) but expect the effect of the F- ion to be greater because of the 2 to 1 situation and the squaring associated with this situation.
