How to determine the mole of nitrate ion, NO₃⁻

We'll begin by obtaining the mole of the nitrate ion, NO₃⁻ that contains 2.53×10²² ions. This can be obtained as follow:

From Avogadro's hypothesis,

6.02×10²³ ions = 1 mole of NO₃⁻

Therefore,

2.53×10²² ions = (2.53×10²² ions × 1 mole) / 6.02×10²³ ions

2.53×10²² ions = 0.042 mole of NO₃⁻

How to determin the mole of Co(NO₃)₂

Co(NO₃)₂(aq) --> Co²⁺(aq) + 2NO₃⁻(aq)

From the equation above,

2 moles of NO₃⁻ is present in 1 mole of Co(NO₃)₂

Therefore,

0.042 mole of NO₃⁻ will be present in = 0.042 / 2 = 0.021 mole of Co(NO₃)₂

How to determine the volume of the sample

  • Mole of Co(NO₃)₂ = 0.021 mole
  • Molarity of Co(NO₃)₂ = 0.215 M
  • Volume = ?

Molarity = mole / volume

Thus,

Volume = mole / molarity

Volume = 0.021 / 0.215

Volume = 0.0977 L

Multiply by 1000 to express in mL

Volume = 0.0977 × 1000

Volume = 97.7 mL

Thus, the volume of the sample is 97.7 mL
