The volume of
Explanation of Solution
Stoichiometry of the reaction comes in and plays a very important role in doing the calculation of measurable quantities. Stoichiometry is nothing but a comparison of quantities of one species with the other on the basis of a balanced chemical equation. The numerical value placed in from of the compounds tells about the number of moles of that compound reacting or producing in the reaction.
The balanced chemical equation of the reaction that happens between the barium hydroxide and potassium hydrogen phthalate is shown below.
Molarity is defined as the number of moles of solute per unit volume in liters of solution.
The formula of molarity in terms of volume in milliliters is given below.
It is multiplied by 1000 to convert the volume in milliliters to liters.
The number of moles of any substance is related to its mass by the formula shown below.

Write the balanced chemical reaction for this process, including state symbols. b From everyday experience you are probably aware that table sugar (sucrose), C12H22O11, is soluble in water. When sucrose dissolves in water, it doesnt form ions through any reaction with water. It just dissolves without forming ions, so it is a nonelectrolyte. Write the chemical equation for the dissolving of sucrose in water. c Both NH3 and C12H22O11 are soluble molecular compounds, yet they behave differently in aqueous solution. Briefly explain why one is a weak electrolyte and the other is a nonelectrolyte. d Hydrochloric acid, HCl, is a molecular compound that is a strong electrolyte.
