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 'Humidity of a saturated NaCl solution with anticaking additive'

I want to test a humidity sensor with one or more saturated salt solutions. The table salt that I have on hand contains one of two anticaking agents, calcium silicate or sodium aluminosilicate. Will the presence of either of these additives (or iodine for that matter) significantly affect the equilibrium humidity? I searched and all the how-to-do-it guides did not address this question. One research paper I found reported that at 1.5% w/w calcium silicate increased the deliquescent point by...
