You need to make an aqueous solution of 0.177 M chromium(III) nitrate for an experiment in lab, using a 250 mL volumetric flask. How much solid chromium(III) nitrate should you add

10.53 g of Cr(NO₃)₃

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Molarity of Cr(NO₃)₃ = 0.177 M

Volume of solution = 250 mL

Mass of Cr(NO₃)₃ =?

Next, we shall convert 250 mL to L. This can be obtained as follow:

1000 mL = 1 L

Therefore,

250 mL = 250 mL × 1 L / 1000 mL

250 mL = 0.25 L

Thus, 250 mL is equivalent to 0.25 L.

Next, we shall determine number of mole of Cr(NO₃)₃ in the solution. This can be obtained as follow:

Molarity of Cr(NO₃)₃ = 0.177 M

Volume of solution = 0.25 L

Mole of Cr(NO₃)₃ =?

Molarity = mole / Volume

0.177 = Mole of Cr(NO₃)₃ / 0.25

Cross multiply

Mole of Cr(NO₃)₃ = 0.177 × 0.25

Mole of Cr(NO₃)₃ = 0.04425 mole

Finally, we shall determine the mass of Cr(NO₃)₃ needed to produce the solution. This can be obtained as follow:

Mole of Cr(NO₃)₃ = 0.04425 mole

Molar mass of Cr(NO₃)₃ = 52 + 3[14 + (3×16)]

= 52 + 3[14 + 48]

= 52 + 3[62]

= 52 + 186

Molar mass of Cr(NO₃)₃ = 238 g/mol

Mass of Cr(NO₃)₃ =?

Mole = mass / Molar mass

0.04425 = Mass of Cr(NO₃)₃ / 238

Cross multiply

Mass of Cr(NO₃)₃ = 0.04425 × 238

Mass of Cr(NO₃)₃ = 10.53 g

Thus, 10.53 g of Cr(NO₃)₃ should be added to the 250 mL and fill with water to the mark.

smooth muscle is composed of involuntary muscles found within the walls of organs and structures such as the esophagus, stomach, intestines, and blood vessels. those muscles push materials like food or blood through organs. unlike skeletal muscle, smooth muscle can never be under your control.
