Answer to Problem 67E

The amount of calcium oxalate that will dissolve in 2.5×102mL of 0.22MNa2C2O4, is 3.5×107g.

Explanation of Solution

The equilibrium equation for calcium oxalate is shown below.

CaC2O4(s)Ca2+(aq)+C2O42(aq)

The solubility product constant for calcium oxalate is calculated by the formula shown below.

Ksp=[Ca2+][C2O42]…(1)

Where,

[Ca2+] is the molar concentration of calcium ion.

[ C2O42 ] is the molar concentration of oxalate ion.

The given value of Ksp=2.4×109.

The equilibrium equation for sodium oxalate is shown below.

Na2C2O4(s)2Na+(aq)+C2O42(aq)

In the above reaction, the concentration of Na2C2O4 is equal to the concentration of Na+ and C2O42. Since the concentration of Na2C2O4 is 0.22M, so, the concentration of C2O42 is also 0.22M.

Substitute the values of Ksp and concentration of C2O42 in equation (1).

2.4×109=[Ca2+]×0.22M[Ca2+]=2.4×1090.22M=1.09×108M

The concentration of [Ca2+] is 1.09×108M.

According to the equilibrium equation for calcium oxalate shown above, the concentration of CaC2O4 must be equal to the concentration of [Ca2+]. So, the concentration of CaC2O4 is 1.09×108M.

The molar mass of CaC2O4 is 128.10g/mol.

The volume of the solution is 2.5×102mL.

The conversion of mL into L is done as shown below.

1000mL=1L

So, the conversion of 2.5×102mL into L is shown below.

1L1000mL×2.5×102mL=0.25L

The volume of the solution is 0.25L.

The number of moles of solute is calculated as shown below.

Moles=MassofsoluteMolarmassofsolute…(2)

The molarity of the solution is calculated as shown below.

Molarity=NumberofmolesofsoluteVolumeofsolutioninL …(3)

Substitute equation (2) in equation (3) as shown below.

Molarity=MassofsoluteMolarmassofsoluteVolumeofsolutioninL

Substitute the values of molarity, molar mass and volume of solution in above equation as shown below.

Molarity=MassofsoluteMolarmassofsoluteVolumeofsolutioninL1.09×108M=Massofsolute128.10g/mol0.25L

Therefore, the mass of the solute is calculated as shown below.

Massofsolute=1.09×108M×128.10g/mol×0.25L=3.49×107g3.5×107g

Conclusion

The amount of calcium oxalate required is 3.5×107g.
