Answer:
22.1
Explanation:
Step 1: Calculate the number of formula units of lithium nitrate
A 5.08 L solution contains 2.68 × 10²¹ formula units per liter.
5.08 L × 2.68 × 10²¹ formula units/1 L = 1.36 × 10²² formula units
Step 2: Calculate the number of nitrate ions
Lithium nitrate dissociates completely in water according to the following equation.
LiNO₃(aq) ⇒ Li⁺(aq) + NO₃⁻(aq)
The molar ratio of LiNO₃ to NO₃⁻ is 1:1. The number of nitrate ions is 1/1 × 1.36 × 10²² = 1.36 × 10²².
Then,
log (1.36 × 10²²) = 22.1
The number of nitrate ions are present in the following aqueous solution is 13.6x10²¹, and log(base 10) value of this is 22.2.
Those salts which are completely dissociate into their ions in the solution form will known as strong electrolyte.
Lithium nitrate is a strong electrolyte and it shows complete dissociation as:
LiNO₃ → Li⁺ + NO₃⁻
Given that,
1 liter of solution containing = 2.68 x 10²¹ formula unit
5.08 L of solution containing = 5.08 x 2.68 x 10²¹ = 13.6x10²¹ formula unit
So, number of nitrate ion in given solution = 13.6x10²¹ formula unit
Log(13.6x10²¹) = 22.1
Hence, required values are 13.6x10²¹ and 22.1.
