    What are concentrations of species in 0.04M sodium sulfate in water?
    I am confusing on this problems.
    Could you please help me that how to do this one?


    Thanks

    0.04 M means 0.04 moles of the compound in 1000 mL of water

    0.5 M means 0.5 moles of compound in 1000 mL

    Etc etc.

    M is also moles per litre, so it makes xx moles in 1 litre, or in 1000 mL

    so if I used L

    its going to be 0.040mol/1000L=0.00004M?

    Thanks

    Oh no! You missed my point!

    It's 0.04 moles in 1 litre, which means 0.04 moles in 1000 mL, since 1L = 1000mL

    Now the one you posted, 0.04 mol/1000L yes, that would make 0.00004M
  • Nov 2, 2009, 10:02 AM
    sarah1004
    so 0.040mol/1mL=0.04M
    0.040mol/1000L=0.00004M

    sorry :o

    Lol!!

    Ok, I think you better forget what I told you.

    0.04 M = 0.04 mol in 1000 mL
    1.0 M = 1 mol in 1000 mL
    0.005 M = 0.005 moles in 1000 mL
  • Nov 2, 2009, 10:12 AM
    sarah1004
    so 0.040mol/1L=0.04M
    0.040mol/1000mL=0.00004M
  • Nov 2, 2009, 10:15 AM

    No, if you put 0.04 mol/1000 mL, you have 0.04 M

    40mole/1000mL=0.04M

    ?

    40 mole / 1000 mL = 40M

    1L = 1000 mL

    So, 0.04mol/L is the same thing as 0.04mol/1000mL and is the same thing as 0.04 M

    So answer is just like 0.04mol/L and 0.04mol/1000mL , these?

    Thanks

    OK I think I have not understand your question but just try
    mlarity=gramwt*1000/molecular wt*volume (in litr)
    but molarity given means somean concentration given want to know in gramm then ti will
    .04*142=5.68 gm/L

    On my book, it says only like" what are concentrations of species in 0.04M sodium sulfate in water? " this.. So that's why I was confusing..

    Hmm, if the question looked for the concentration in grams per litre, then that would be right. But the question itself... I don't know what is it looking for exactly.

    Or perhaps the concentration of each of the ions in the solution?

    Yes 0.040moles is correct >.<
