Week Seven

"Alkali Earth Metal of the week"

"Ba" 56

Barium;
the chemical element of atomic number 56, a soft white reactive metal of the alkaline earth group.
Medicine a mixture of barium sulphate and water ,opaque to X-rays, which is swallowed
to parmit radiological examination of the stomach or intestines.
by Concice Oxford Dictionary.

My mother said that was hard to drink(swallow) it. I have not been yet.


Avogadro's Hypothesis
---------------------------------------------
What exactly is a mole?

I am using in japanese for my understanding.


Atomic weight    O=16.0 Na=23.0 S=32.0 Cl=35.5 Ca=40.0
Avogadro's Number  6.022×10^23

Q1 Na2SO4 14.2gが水に溶け、完全に電離したとすると、存在する総イオン数はどれだけか。

Q2 水にCaCl2を溶かして、Cl-を0.10molつくりたい。CaCl2を何g溶かせば良いか。
ただしCaCl2は完全に電離するものとする。




Na2SO4 molecular weight=(23.0×2) + (32.0×1)+ (16.0×4) =142

therefore Na2SO4→ 1 mole =142g

1mole Na2SO4 → Na2SO4が 6.022×10^23個

Na2SO4が14.2g → 0.1 mole

さて、Na2SO4が電離すると → 2Na+ SO4(2-)
total ion = 0.1mole × 6.022×10^23×(2+1)= 1.8×10^23個

------------------------------------------------

Q2
Cl-が0.1mol→CaCl2を0.05mol溶かせばいいわけですから
(40+35.5×2)×0.05=5.55g

About "Chikyu"

I checked web-site below about "Chikyu" .

If you have interest in it please check these web-site .



If Chikyu could reach "Earthquake nest" it will be really help us because earthquake is very serious problem and often happen in Japan.Untill now many people died by earthquake . I remenber there was an earthquake of magnitude 7.3 early morning around 5am in Kobe (west of Japan) . In January 1995 , 6,500 people died by the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake . It was very daring news.

  1. I enjoyed your explanation of barium. That is a yucky medicine to swallow. The earthquake analogy..that would be great to help prepare or prevent the devastation caused by them in Japan.
