Chapter U4.14, Problem 3E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Molecular view must be drawn for the blue dye solutions which are 0.50 M, 0.25 M and 0.10 M.

Concept introduction:

Higher the concentration of a solution higher is the amount of solute present in the solution and lesser is the distance between solute particles.

Answer to Problem 3E

Molecular views of the three blue dye solutions are given below.

Explanation of Solution

Molecular view of the three blue dye solutions are given.

Red dots are representing solute and black dots are representing solvent.

Solvent volume is same for all the three solutions. 0.5 M solution has more number of solute as compared to 0.10 M. Number of solute in 0.25 M is just half as compared to 0.50 M solution.

Conclusion

From molecular view it’s clear that most concentrated solution is 0.50 M and least concentrated solution is 0.10 M.
