Calculate the masses of NaCl (58.44 g/mol) and KCl (74.55 g/mol) that are required to prepare 500.00 mL of a standard solution that contains N a + Na+ and K + K+ present at 540.0 ppm w/v.
mass of NaCl ____
mass of KCl _____
please show work.
concentration of Na+ = 540 ppm = 540 mg / L
= 0.540 g/ L
Molar mass of NaCl = 58.44 g/mol
molar mass of Na+ = 22.99 g/mol
mass of NaCl required = (58.44 / 22.99 ) x 0.5
= 1.271 g NaCl
mass of NaCl =1.271 g
2)
molar mass of KCl = 74.55 g/mol
molar mass of K+ = 39.09 g/mol
mass of KCl required = 74.55 / 39.09 ) x 0.50
= 0.954 g
mass of KCl = 0.954 g
