The mass (in grams) is given by:<br>[<br>\\text{mass of solution} = \\text{density} \\times \\text{volume}<br>]<br>[<br>\\text{mass of solution} = 0.788 \\, \\text{g\/mL} \\times 2 \\, \\text{mL} = 1.576 \\, \\text{g}<br>]<br>So, the mass of the solution in 2 mL is 1.576 grams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3: Calculate the Mass of Sodium Iodide (NaI) in the Solution<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The concentration is 15% (w\/v), meaning there are 15 grams of NaI in every 100 mL of solution. To find the mass of NaI in 2 mL of solution, use the following relationship:<br>[<br>\\text{mass of NaI} = \\frac{\\text{concentration of NaI}}{100} \\times \\text{volume of solution}<br>]<br>[<br>\\text{mass of NaI} = \\frac{15 \\, \\text{g}}{100 \\, \\text{mL}} \\times 2 \\, \\text{mL} = 0.3 \\, \\text{g}<br>]<br>Thus, the mass of NaI in 2 mL of solution is 0.3 grams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 4: Calculate the Moles of Sodium Iodide (NaI)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To calculate the number of moles of NaI, we use the formula:<br>[<br>\\text{moles of NaI} = \\frac{\\text{mass of NaI}}{\\text{molar mass of NaI}}<br>]<br>The molar mass of NaI is:<br>[<br>\\text{Molar mass of NaI} = 22.99 \\, \\text{g\/mol (for Na)} + 126.90 \\, \\text{g\/mol (for I)} = 149.89 \\, \\text{g\/mol}<br>]<br>Now, calculate the moles:<br>[<br>\\text{moles of NaI} = \\frac{0.3 \\, \\text{g}}{149.89 \\, \\text{g\/mol}} = 0.0020 \\, \\text{mol}<br>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final Answer:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The number of moles of sodium iodide used in each test tube (2 mL of 15% NaI in acetone) is <strong>0.0020 moles<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Explanation:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In this problem, the first key step was calculating the mass of the solution in the test tube using the density and volume. Then, using the given concentration of NaI (15% w\/v), we determined the mass of NaI present in the 2 mL of solution. Finally, using the molar mass of NaI, we converted the mass of NaI into moles. This process allowed us to find the number of moles of sodium iodide in the 2 mL of acetone solution.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The concentration of sodium iodide used is 15% in acetone.
