Calculate the concentrations of all species in a 1.15 M Na 2 SO 3 (sodium sulfite) solution. The ionization constants for sulfurous acid are K a 1 = 1.4 * 10 - 2 and K a 2 = 6.3 * 10 - 8.

    Na₂SO₄ = 1.15 M

    Na⁺ = 2.3 M

    SO₃²⁻ = 1.15

    Explanation:

    First, the concentration of ions in solution is dependent on the mole ratio of the substance and the dissolved ions in solution. Let's take sodium sulfite in the question:

    Na₂SO₃ (s) → 2Na²⁺ (aq) + SO₃²⁻ (aq)

    From the stoichiometrical ratios:

    1 mole of Na₂SO₃ gives:

    2 moles of Na²

    1 mole of SO₃²⁻

    The concentration of Na²⁺ will be 2 * 1.15 = 2.3 M

    The concentration of SO₃²⁻ will be = 1.15 M

    The concentration of Na₂SO₃ will be = 1.15 M
