1.Easy
17 g KMnO4​V = 150 mL

17 g of KMnO4 (M = 158.03 g/mol) is dissolved in water to make 150 mL of solution. Find the molarity c.

m = 17 gM = 158.03 g/molV = 150 mL
c = mol/L
2.Easy
19 g CaCl2​V = 500 mL

19 g of CaCl2 (M = 110.98 g/mol) is dissolved in water to make 500 mL of solution. Find the molarity c.

m = 19 gM = 110.98 g/molV = 500 mL
c = mol/L
3.Medium
2 mol/LV1​ = ?0.2 mol/L100 mL

You need 100 mL of 0.2 mol/L solution and have a 2 mol/L stock solution. What volume V1 of stock solution do you need?

c1 = 2 mol/Lc2 = 0.2 mol/LV2 = 100 mL
V1 = mL
4.Medium
1.5 mol/LV1​0.4 mol/L100 mL

You need 100 mL of 0.4 mol/L solution and have a 1.5 mol/L stock solution. How much water Vwater do you add to the stock solution?

c1 = 1.5 mol/Lc2 = 0.4 mol/LV2 = 100 mL
Vwater = mL
5.Hard
0.2 mol/L50 mL3 mol/L250 mLc = ?300 mL

50 mL of a 0.2 mol/L solution is mixed with 250 mL of a 3 mol/L solution of the same substance. Find the concentration c of the mixture (volumes are additive).

c1 = 0.2 mol/LV1 = 50 mLc2 = 3 mol/LV2 = 250 mL
c = mol/L
6.Hard
0.8 mol/L300 mL0.75 mol/L400 mLc = ?700 mL

300 mL of a 0.8 mol/L solution is mixed with 400 mL of a 0.75 mol/L solution of the same substance. Find the concentration c of the mixture (volumes are additive).

c1 = 0.8 mol/LV1 = 300 mLc2 = 0.75 mol/LV2 = 400 mL
c = mol/L

Answer key

  1. 1. c = 0.7172 mol/L
  2. 2. c = 0.3424 mol/L
  3. 3. V1 = 10 mL
  4. 4. Vwater = 73.33 mL
  5. 5. c = 2.533 mol/L
  6. 6. c = 0.7714 mol/L
