SUMMARY

The concentration of a mixed calcium nitrate solution can be calculated using the formula for dilution and mixing. In this case, a 46.2 mL solution of 0.568 M calcium nitrate mixed with 80.5 mL of 1.396 M calcium nitrate results in a final concentration of 1.09 M. Additionally, the discussion highlights the importance of using distilled water in gravimetric analysis to avoid contamination, as regular drinking water may contain chlorides that interfere with results. The calculation of precipitate mass from mixing calcium chloride and silver nitrate is also addressed.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of molarity and concentration calculations
  • Familiarity with dilution and mixing formulas
  • Knowledge of gravimetric analysis principles
  • Basic chemistry concepts regarding limiting reagents
NEXT STEPS
  • Learn how to perform dilution calculations in chemistry
  • Study the principles of gravimetric analysis and the role of distilled water
  • Explore limiting reagent calculations in chemical reactions
  • Practice calculating precipitate mass in double displacement reactions
USEFUL FOR

Chemistry students, laboratory technicians, and educators looking to enhance their understanding of solution concentration, gravimetric analysis, and chemical reaction calculations.

I am now studying on my test and I came upon one question which I can't answer but I still remember that the answer is 1.09 M. Yeah, I have a bad memory... So, here goes:

A 46.2-mL, o.568 M calcium Nitrate [Ca(NO3)2] solution i smixed with 80.5 mL of 1.396 M calcium nitrate solution. What is the concentration?



Is it true that according to my teacher that we must use distilled water in the gravimetric analysis of chlorides?? Why is it so? Isn't it just the same if we use regular drinking water?

And yesterday, I have to answer this super tough question is the school and I got zero since I am not really good in chemistry and I'm a bit too shy to ask anything...This is the question:

If 30.0 mL of 0.150 M CaCl2 is added to 15.0 mL of 0.100 M AgNO3, what is the mass in grams of AgCl precipitate?

Thanks so much for helping me.:cry:

What if the drinking water contains chlorides on its own?

If 30.0 mL of 0.150 M CaCl2 is added to 15.0 mL of 0.100 M AgNO3, what is the mass in grams of AgCl precipitate?
