Answer:
Concentration of H3O⁺ [H3O⁺] = 0.864 M
Justification:
Given that:
The mass concentration of MO = 43 g/L
The volume of MO = 7.9 mL = 7.9 × 10⁻³ L
Recall that
The mass number of MO = Mass concentration of MO × Volume of MO
The mass number of MO = (43 g/L) * (7.9 × 10⁻³ L)
The mass number of MO = 0.3397 g
The number of moles of MO = (mass number of MO) / (molar mass of MO)
The number of moles of MO = (0.3397 g) / (327.33 g/mol)
moles of MO = 0.00104 mol
The total volume = 7.9 mL + 3.13 mL + 5.49 mL + 3.43 mL
The total volume = 19.95 mL = 19.95 × 10⁻³ L
Concentration of MO [MO} =(number of moles of MO) / (total volume)
[MO] = 0.00104 mol / 19.95 × 10⁻³ L
[MO] = 5.2130 × 10⁻⁸ M
The number of moles of H3O⁺ = molarity of HCl in the solution × the volume of HCl in solution
The number of moles of H3O⁺ = [(2.0 M) * (3.13 mL)] + [(2.0 M) * (5.49 mL)]
The number of moles of H3O⁺ = 17.24 mmol
Concentration of H3O⁺ [H3O⁺] = (the number of moles of H3O⁺) / (total volume)
Concentration of H3O⁺ [H3O⁺] = (17.24 mmol) / (19.95 mL)
Concentration of H3O⁺ [H3O⁺] = 0.864 M
