1.Easy
250 mLc = 0.2 mol/L

What mass m of NaCl (M = 58.44 g/mol) do you need to make 250 mL of a 0.2 mol/L solution?

V = 250 mLc = 0.2 mol/LM = 58.44 g/mol
m = g
2.Easy
1 g Na2​CO3​V = 200 mL

1 g of Na2CO3 (M = 105.99 g/mol) is dissolved in water to make 200 mL of solution. Find the molarity c.

m = 1 gM = 105.99 g/molV = 200 mL
c = mol/L
3.Medium
3 mol/LV1​0.4 mol/L1000 mL

You need 1000 mL of 0.4 mol/L solution and have a 3 mol/L stock solution. How much water Vwater do you add to the stock solution?

c1 = 3 mol/Lc2 = 0.4 mol/LV2 = 1000 mL
Vwater = mL
4.Medium
1 mol/LV1​ = ?0.2 mol/L500 mL

You need 500 mL of 0.2 mol/L solution and have a 1 mol/L stock solution. What volume V1 of stock solution do you need?

c1 = 1 mol/Lc2 = 0.2 mol/LV2 = 500 mL
V1 = mL
5.Hard
2 mol/L200 mL1.2 mol/L250 mLc = ?450 mL

200 mL of a 2 mol/L solution is mixed with 250 mL of a 1.2 mol/L solution of the same substance. Find the concentration c of the mixture (volumes are additive).

c1 = 2 mol/LV1 = 200 mLc2 = 1.2 mol/LV2 = 250 mL
c = mol/L
6.Hard
0.5 mol/L300 mL0.05 mol/L100 mLc = ?400 mL

300 mL of a 0.5 mol/L solution is mixed with 100 mL of a 0.05 mol/L solution of the same substance. Find the concentration c of the mixture (volumes are additive).

c1 = 0.5 mol/LV1 = 300 mLc2 = 0.05 mol/LV2 = 100 mL
c = mol/L

Answer key

  1. 1. m = 2.922 g
  2. 2. c = 0.04717 mol/L
  3. 3. Vwater = 866.7 mL
  4. 4. V1 = 100 mL
  5. 5. c = 1.556 mol/L
  6. 6. c = 0.3875 mol/L
