The titration reaction can be represented as mgcl2(aq) 2 naoh(aq) → mg(oh)2(s) 2 nacl(aq) the solubility equilibrium is written as mg(oh)2(s) ⇌ mg2 (aq) 2 oh-(aq) kemmi is trying to teach noke how to calculate the concentration of the mg2 cation at the titration endpoint. she explains that the initial mgcl2 concentration must be multiplied by the volume of mgcl2 pipetted and divided by the total volume at the endpoint. (note: the calculation page in the lab manual has a similar equation for the lead cation.) noke do her calculation. for the first titration in the set the initial concentration of mgcl2(aq) was 0.0050 m, the volume measured was 100.00 ml, and the total volume of solution at the endpoint was 104.12 ml. calculate the concentration of mg2 at the endpoint. (answer with 2 significant digits and units of m)

The concentration of Mg²⁺ cation at end point: M₂ = 0.0048 M

Explanation:

The titration reaction involved: MgCl₂(aq) + 2 NaOH(aq) → Mg(OH)₂(s) + 2 NaCl(aq)

and the solubility equilibrium for the product: Mg(OH)₂(s) ⇌ Mg²⁺ (aq) + 2 OH⁻(aq)

Given: Concentration of MgCl₂: M₁ = 0.005 M, volume of MgCl₂: V₁ = 100 mL, Total volume of solution at end point = 104.12 mL

Concentration of Mg²⁺ cation at end point: M₂ = ?M

Now, to calculate the concentration of Mg²⁺ cation at end point, we use the equation:    M₁ × V₁ = M₂ × V₂

⇒ M₂ = M₁ × V₁ ÷ V₂

⇒ M₂ = (0.005 M × 100 mL) ÷ 104.12 mL

⇒ M₂ = 0.0048 M (2 significant digits)

Therefore, the concentration of Mg²⁺ cation at end point: M₂ = 0.0048 M

explanation:

the largest database of organic compounds lists about 10 million substances, which include compounds originating from living organisms and those synthesized by chemists. the number of potential organic compounds has been estimated at 1060—an astronomically high number. the existence of so many organic molecules is a consequence of the ability of carbon atoms to form up to four strong bonds to other carbon atoms, resulting in chains and rings of many different sizes, shapes, and complexities. the simplest organic compounds contain only the elements carbon and hydrogen, and are called hydrocarbons. even though they are composed of only two types of atoms, there is a wide variety of hydrocarbons because they may consist of varying lengths of chains, branched chains, and rings of carbon atoms, or combinations of these structures. in addition, hydrocarbons may differ in the types of carbon-carbon bonds present in their molecules. many hydrocarbons are found in plants, animals, and their fossils; other hydrocarbons have been prepared in the laboratory. we use hydrocarbons every day, mainly as fuels, such as natural gas, acetylene, propane, butane, and the principal components of gasoline, diesel fuel, and heating oil. the familiar plastics polyethylene, polypropylene, and polystyrene are also hydrocarbons. we can distinguish several types of hydrocarbons by differences in the bonding between carbon atoms. this leads to differences in geometries and in the hybridization of the carbon orbitals.
