Question

 NaClis purified by adding HCl to a saturated solution of NaCl(317g/L). When 28.5 mLof 8.65 M HCl is added to 0.100 L of saturated solution, what mass (g) of pure NaCl precipitates?

Step-by-Step Solution

Verified
Answer

No sodium chloride will precipitate because the reaction quotient is less than the solubility product constant.

1Step 1: Definition of Concept.

Capacity: The amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of a body by a certain amount is known as heat capacity. The amount of heat in joules required to raise the temperature 1 Kelvin is known as heat capacity (symbol: C) in SI units.

2Step 2: Calculate the mass (g) of pure NaCI precipitates.

The moles of chloride ions and the solubility product constant of sodium chloride are calculated as follows:

Concentration(M)ofNaCl=317gNaClL1molNaCl58.44gNaCl=5.42436687MNaClNaCl(s)Na(aq)++Cl(aq)-Ksp=Na+Cl-=S2=(5.42436687)2=29.42375594=29.4


Moles of Cl-initially 

=5.42436687molNaClL(0.100L)1molCl1molNaCl)=0.542436687molCl-

Moles of Cl- is added =8.65 mol HClL10-3 L21 mL(28.5 mL)I mol Cl-1 mol HCl2)=0.246525 mol Cl- 0.100 L

of saturated solution contains 0.542 mol each Na+and Cl- to which one adding 0.466525 molof additional chloride ions from hydrogen chloride.

Volume of mixed solutions =0.100 L+(28.5 mL)10-3  L/1mL=0.1285 L

Molarity of in mixture =(0.542436687+0.246525) mol Cl-/(0.1285 L)

=6.13978 M Cl-


Molarity of in mixture =0.542436687 mol Na+/(0.1285 L)

=4.22130MNa+Qsp=Na+Cl-=(4.22130)(6.13978)=25.9179=25.9

Therefore, No sodium chloride will precipitate because the reaction quotient is less than the solubility product constant.
