Figuring Out Patent Blue Solution Concentration

AI Thread Summary
To prepare a mother solution of Patent Blue V with a concentration of 1.00 x 10^-3 mol/L in a volume of 1.00 L, the calculation involves determining the number of moles needed. The formula to use is: moles = concentration (mol/L) x volume (L). This results in 1.00 x 10^-3 moles of Patent Blue V. Given the molar mass of Patent Blue V is 1160 g/mol, the mass required can be calculated by multiplying the number of moles by the molar mass. Thus, to create the mother solution, approximately 1.16 grams of Patent Blue V needs to be dissolved in water.

Hello :blushing:

I need help trying to figure this out:

Patent blue V is a food coloring designed under the code E 131. Using a scales of blue tints, we hope to determine the molar concentration of patent blue in a solution used to color candy in a candy shop. We make a range of tints starting from the volume V = 1,00 l of the "mother solution" So, of the concentration C in patent blue equal to 1,00*10^-3 mol.L-1.

Here's the information given before the question:

Molar mass od patent blue : M = 1160 g.mol-1
Patent blue is a solid that does not react to water.

Question:

How much patent blue needs to be dissolved in order to make the mother solution?

I don't know which formula to use in order to solve this. Any suggestions?

P.S. Sorry if this is extremely hard to understand, the exercise was originally given to me in french. :shy:

How many moles of patent blue are in 1 L of your desired mother solution w/ your desired concentration?


Concentration (in molarity) x volume= moles
 
thank you... simply put :shy:
 

Thread 'Solubility of MgSO47H2O in water'

It seems like a simple enough question: what is the solubility of epsom salt in water at 20°C? A graph or table showing how it varies with temperature would be a bonus. But upon searching the internet I have been unable to determine this with confidence. Wikipedia gives the value of 113g/100ml. But other sources disagree and I can't find a definitive source for the information. I even asked chatgpt but it couldn't be sure either. I thought, naively, that this would be easy to look up without...

Thread 'Why does having 8 valence electrons make an element inert?'

I was introduced to the Octet Rule recently and make me wonder, why does 8 valence electrons or a full p orbital always make an element inert? What is so special with a full p orbital? Like take Calcium for an example, its outer orbital is filled but its only the s orbital thats filled so its still reactive not so much as the Alkaline metals but still pretty reactive. Can someone explain it to me? Thanks!!
