Which of the following solutions contains the smallest number of ions? a. 156.5 ml of 2.0 m iron(iii) chloride b. 521.4 ml of 1.0 m lithium nitrate c. 374.3 ml of 2.0 m potassium hydroxide d. at least two of the above contain the smallest number of ions. e. 297.1 ml of 1.0 m sodium sulfate

297.1 mL of 1.0 M sodium sulfate has smallest number of ions.

Explanation:

A) 156.5 mL of 2.0 M iron(III) chloride

Volume of iron(III) chloride solution = 156.5 mL = 0.1565 L

Molarity of the iron(III) chloride  = 2.0 M

Moles of iron(III) chloride = n

1 mole of  iron(III) chloride gives 1 mol ferric ion and 3 mol chloride ions.

Number of ferric ions = 0.313 mol

Number of chloride ions =  0.313 mol × 3 = 0.939 mol

Total moles of ions = 1.252 moles

B) 521.4 mL of 1.0 M lithium nitrate:

Volume of lithium nitrate solution = 521.4 mL = 0.5214 L

Molarity of the lithium nitrate  = 1.0 M

Moles of lithium nitrate  = n

1 mole of  lithium nitrate  gives 1 mol lithium ion and 1 mol nitrate ions.

Number of lithium ions = 0.5214 mol

Number of nitrate ions = 0.5214 mol

Total moles of ions = 1.0428 mol

C)  374.3 mL of 2.0 M potassium hydroxide :

Volume of potassium hydroxide solution = 374.3 mL = 0.3743 L

Molarity of the potassium hydroxide  = 2.0 M

Moles of potassium hydroxide  = n

1 mole of  potassium hydroxide  gives 1 mol potassium ion and 1 mol hydroxide ions.

Number of potassium ions = 0.7486 mol

Number of hydroxide ions = 0.7486  mol

Total moles of ions = 1.4972 mol

E) 297.1 mL of 1.0 M sodium sulfate:

Volume of  sodium sulfate solution = 297.1 mL = 0.2971 L

Molarity of the  sodium sulfate  = 1.0 M

Moles of  sodium sulfate  = n

1 mole of   sodium sulfate gives 1 mol sodium ion and 2 mol sulafte ions.

Number of sodium ions = 0.2971 mol

Number of sulfate ions = 0.2971 mol × 2 = 0.5942 mol

Total moles of ion = 0.8913 mol

Higher the number of moles more with number of ions in the solution and vice-versa.

297.1 mL of 1.0 M sodium sulfate has smallest number of ions.

african americans demonstrated their newly found freedom by relocating often in search of relatives whom they had been separated from during slavery. others established schools to educate freed people and they built institutions such as churches and political organizations to advocate for their rights.
