1. The luminol stock solution has a molarity of 1.431 M.
2. In 2.00 L of the diluted spray, there are 0.12 moles of luminol.
3. The volume of the stock solution from Part A that contains the same number of moles present in the diluted solution from Part B is 83.86 ml.
Additional Information
Stoichiometry in Chemistry focuses on the quantitative aspects of chemical reactions, which includes calculations related to volume, mass, and the count of ions, molecules, and elements.
Key concepts in stoichiometry include:
- 1. Relative atomic mass
- 2. Relative molecular mass
This refers to the relative atomic mass of a molecule.
- 3. Mole
A mole represents the number of particles in a substance equivalent to the number of atoms in 12 grams of carbon-12.
1 mole = 6.02 × 10²³ particles.
The quantity of moles can also be derived by dividing mass (in grams) by either the relative mass of an element or the relative mass of a molecule.
Luminol (C₈H₇N₃O₂) is utilized for detecting blood traces at crime scenes, due to its reaction with iron found in blood.
To prepare a luminol stock solution, 19.0 g of luminol is mixed into a total volume of 75.0 mL of water.
Thus, the molarity is calculated as:
- 1. Moles of Luminol
- the relative molecular mass of Luminol:
= 8.C + 7.H + 3.N + 2.16
= 8.12 + 7.1 + 3.14 + 2.16
= 177 grams/mol.
Thus, we have:
moles = grams / relative molecular mass.
moles = 0.1073.
2. Molarity (M)
M = moles / volume
M = 1.431.
- b. The concentration of luminol in the spray bottle is 6.00 × 10⁻² M. Therefore, in a 2 L solution, the number of moles is:
moles = M × volume
moles = 6 × 10⁻² × 2
moles = 0.12.
- c. The molarity of the stock solution (Part A) is 1.431 M.
The diluted solution (Part B) contains 0.12 moles of luminol.
To find the volume of the stock solution (Part A) that has the same moles as the diluted solution (Part B):
volume = moles / M
volume = 0.08386 L = 83.86 mL.
