• If 20.0 mL of a 0.100 M solution of sodium phosphate is mixed with 25.0 mL of a 6
0.200 M solution of zinc chloride, what mass of zinc phosphate will precipitate from
the reaction?

Steps: 1) Write equation for the reaction; 2) Determine amount (in moles) of starting
materials present; 3) Determine which of the starting materials is limiting; 4) Based on
the limiting reagent, determine the amount (in moles) of product obtained; 5) Use molar
mass of product to determine mass of product obtained.

1. 3Zn2+ (aq) + 2PO4 3-(aq) → Zn3(PO4)2(s)

2. 25.0 mL of a 0.200 M solution of ZnCl2 contains:


n(Zn2+) = concentration × volume = (0.200 mol L-1) × (25.0 × 10-3 L)
= 0.00500 mol

20.0 mL of a 0.100 solution of Na3PO4 contains:


n(PO43-) = (0.100 mol L-1) × (20.0 × 10-3 L) = 0.00200 mol

3. Determine which reagent is limiting: if Zn2+ is limiting it would react with


(2/3)0.00500 = 0.00333 mol of phosphate – the amount of phosphate present is less
than this therefore phosphate is limiting. Put another way, if phosphate was
limiting it would react with (3/2)0.00200 = 0.00300 mol of zinc – the amount of zinc
present is more than this therefore phosphate is limiting.

4. Based on the amount (moles) of phosphate present, the maximum amount of


product formed is: ½ × 0.00200 mol = 0.00100 mol

5. The molar mass of zinc phosphate is:


(3 × 65.39 (Zn)) + 2 × (30.97 (P) + 4 × 16.00 (O)) = 386.11g mol-1-
The mass of zinc phosphate produced is therefore:
mass = number of moles × molar mass = 0.00100 × 386.11 = 0.386 g

Answer: 0.386 g

What is the final concentration of zinc ions in solution after the above reaction?

The number of moles of Zn2+ removed by precipitation: 3 × 0.00100 = 0.00300 mol

The amount remaining is therefore: 0.00500 – 0.00300 = 0.00200 mol

The total volume of the solution after mixing is (20.0 + 25.0) = 45.0 mL so the
concentration is:
[Zn2+] = number of moles/volume in L
= 0.00200 mol /(45.0 × 10-3 L) = 0.0444 M

Answer: 0.0444 M

What is the final concentration of sodium ions in solution after the above reaction?

20.0 mL of a 0.100 M solution of Na3PO4 contains:


3 × 0.100 × 20 × 10-3 = 0.00600 mol of Na+

After mixing, this amount is contained in a volume of 45.0 mL so the


concentration is:

[Na+] = number of moles/volume in L


= 0.00600 mol /(45.0 × 10-3 L) = 0.133 M

Answer: 0.133 M

• Human haemoglobin has a molar weight of 6.45 × 104 g mol-1 and contains 3.46 g of Marks
iron per kg. Calculate the number of iron atoms in each molecule of haemoglobin. 3

Steps: 1) Determine number of moles of haemoglobin (Hb) in 1 kg of haemoglobin; 2)


Determine number of moles of iron in 1 kg of haemoglobin; 3) Compare ratio of moles
to give number of moles of iron per mole of haemoglobin or atoms of iron per molecule
of haemoglobin.

1. Number of moles of Hb in 1 kg of Hb is mass/molar mass


= 1000 g / 6.45 x 104 g mol-1 = 0.0155 mol

2. Number of moles of Fe in 1 kg of Hb is
3.46 g / 55.85 g mol-1 = 0.0620 mol

3. Ratio of moles of Fe to moles of Hb is 0.0620 : 0.0155 = 4 : 1

There are 4 Fe atoms in every molecule of haemoglobin.
