SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on calculating the concentrations of M2 and M3 from a given solution of CuSO4·2H2O. The initial concentration M1 is derived from dissolving 4.500 grams of CuSO4·2H2O in 250.0 mL of water. Subsequently, M2 is calculated using the dilution formula M1xV1=M2xV2, where 10.0 mL of M1 is diluted to 25.00 mL. Finally, M3 is determined by diluting 50.00 mL of M2 to 75.00 mL. The discussion also categorizes various compounds as strong electrolytes, weak electrolytes, or nonelectrolytes.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of molarity calculations
  • Familiarity with the dilution formula (M1xV1=M2xV2)
  • Knowledge of electrolyte classifications (strong, weak, nonelectrolytes)
  • Basic chemistry concepts regarding solubility and aqueous solutions
NEXT STEPS
  • Calculate molarity for various solutes using different mass and volume combinations
  • Explore the properties of strong and weak electrolytes in aqueous solutions
  • Investigate the behavior of compounds in solution, focusing on ions and molecules
  • Learn about the impact of temperature and concentration on electrolyte strength
USEFUL FOR

Chemistry students, educators, and anyone involved in laboratory work related to electrolyte solutions and their properties.

Ok so for the first part my questions I do not understand how to start it off.

1. Calculate the concentration in molarity. 4.500 grams of CuSO4.2H2O is dissolved in water to make 250.0 mL solution. The concentration is labeled as M1.





2. A student used 10.0 ml of M1 from problem# 1 and added water to make 25.00 mL of solution M2. Calculate the molarity of M2 ( use M1xV1=M2xV2).




3. A student used 50.00 mL of M2 from problem #2 and added water to make 75.00 mL of solutionM3. Calculate the concentration of M3.


Electrolytes-
1. Label the following compounds as strong electrolytes, weak electrolytes or nonelectrolytes.

1. KNO3-?
2. MgCl2-Strong
3. AlBr3-?
4. H2SO4-Strong
5. HCl-Strong
6. HNO3-Strong
7. HF-Weak
8. CH3COOH(acetic acid)-weak
9. CH3CH2OH (ethanol)-Non-electrolytes
10. Water-weak
11. Glucose (C6H12O6)-?

2. Which compounds are ions only in aqueous solutions?



3. Which compounds are molecules only in aqueous solutions?



4. Which compounds are both molecules and ions in aqueous solutions?

Any help is appreciated and If i did some problems wrong please correct me.

My eyes hurt from trying, but I can't see any problem DONE.
 
Sorry about that, but no worries as I managed to do the problems myself.
