A water initially contains 50mg/L of Mg2+. The pH of the water is increased until the concentration of hydroxide ion is 0.0005 M. Calculate the concentration (mg/L) of magnesium ion in this water at this pH. Assume that the temperature of the solution is 25 degrees C.

Solutions

Expert Solution

Given the concentration of hydroxide ion,[OH-] = 0.0005 M

Mg(OH)₂ Mg²⁺ + 2OH^-

2 moles of OH- produced from 1 mole of Mg(OH)₂

So [Mg(OH)₂] = [OH^-]/2

= 0.0005 / 2

= 0.00025 M

We know that Molarity, M = ( mass/molar mass) / volume in L

0.00025 M = ( mass/24.3(g/mol)) / 1L

So mass of Magnesium ion is , m = 6.075x10^-3 g/L

= 6.075 mg/L

Hard water often contains dissolved Ca2+ and Mg2+ ions. One way to soften water is to add phosphates. The phosphate ion forms insoluble precipitates with calcium and magnesium ions, removing them from solution. Suppose that a solution is 0.049 M in calcium chloride and 0.094 M in magnesium nitrate. What mass of sodium phosphate would have to be added to 1.4 L of this solution to completely eliminate the hard water ions? Assume complete reaction. Enter a numerical answer in...
