Suppose of potassium nitrate is dissolved in of a aqueous solution of sodium chromate. calculate the final molarity of potassium cation in the solution. you can assume the volume of the solution doesn't change when the potassium nitrate is dissolved in it. be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.

Explanation:

There is some info missing. I think this is the original question.

Suppose 0.816 g of potassium nitrate is dissolved in 300 mL of a 14.0 mM aqueous solution of sodium chromate. Calculate the final molarity of potassium cation in the solution. You can assume the volume of the solution doesn't change when the potassium nitrate is dissolved in it. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.

The molecular equation corresponding to this reaction is:

2 KNO₃(aq) + Na₂CrO₄(aq) ⇄ K₂CrO₄(aq) + 2 NaNO₃(aq)

The full ionic equation is:

2 K⁺(aq) + 2 NO₃⁻(aq) + 2 Na⁺(aq) + CrO₄²⁻(aq) ⇄ 2 K⁺(aq) + CrO₄²⁻(aq) + 2 Na⁺(aq) + 2 NO₃⁻(aq)

As we can see, the moles of K⁺ are equal to the initial moles of KNO₃. The molar mass of KNO₃ is 101.10 g/mol. The moles of KNO₃ (and K⁺) are:

0.816 g × (1 mol/ 101.10 g) = 8.07 × 10⁻³ mol

The molarity of K⁺ is:

8.07 × 10⁻³ mol / 0.300 L = 0.0269 M

most historians agree that gabriel mouton, the vicar of st. paul’s church in lyons, france, is the “founding father” of the metric system. he proposed a decimal system of measurement in 1670. mouton based it on the length of one minute of arc of a great circle of the earth (now called a nautical mile, 1852 meters). he also proposed the swing-length of a pendulum with a frequency of one beat per second as the unit of length (about 25 cm). a pendulum beating with this length would have been fairly easy to produce, thus facilitating the widespread distribution of uniform standards. over the years, his work was revised, improved, and extended by a number of french scientists.

the political sponsor of weights and measures reform in the french revolutionary national assembly was the bishop of autun, better known as talleyrand. under his auspices, the french academy appointed several committees to carry out the work of developing a usable system of weights and measures for france. one of the committees recommended a decimalized measurement system based upon a length equal to one ten-millionth of the length of a quadrant of the earth’s meridian (i.e., one ten-millionth of the distance between the equator and the north pole).
