1.Easy
29 g NaClV = 150 mL

29 g of NaCl (M = 58.44 g/mol) is dissolved in water to make 150 mL of solution. Find the molarity c.

m = 29 gM = 58.44 g/molV = 150 mL
c = mol/L
2.Easy
34.5 g KMnO4​V = 500 mL

34.5 g of KMnO4 (M = 158.03 g/mol) is dissolved in water to make 500 mL of solution. Find the molarity c.

m = 34.5 gM = 158.03 g/molV = 500 mL
c = mol/L
3.Medium
6 mol/LV1​ = ?0.25 mol/L100 mL

You need 100 mL of 0.25 mol/L solution and have a 6 mol/L stock solution. What volume V1 of stock solution do you need?

c1 = 6 mol/Lc2 = 0.25 mol/LV2 = 100 mL
V1 = mL
4.Medium
3 mol/LV1​0.5 mol/L500 mL

You need 500 mL of 0.5 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 = 0.5 mol/LV2 = 500 mL
Vwater = mL
5.Hard
0.5 mol/L100 mL0.05 mol/L500 mLc = ?600 mL

100 mL of a 0.5 mol/L solution is mixed with 500 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 = 100 mLc2 = 0.05 mol/LV2 = 500 mL
c = mol/L
6.Hard
0.8 mol/L150 mL1.2 mol/L500 mLc = ?650 mL

150 mL of a 0.8 mol/L solution is mixed with 500 mL of a 1.2 mol/L solution of the same substance. Find the concentration c of the mixture (volumes are additive).

c1 = 0.8 mol/LV1 = 150 mLc2 = 1.2 mol/LV2 = 500 mL
c = mol/L

Answer key

  1. 1. c = 3.308 mol/L
  2. 2. c = 0.4366 mol/L
  3. 3. V1 = 4.167 mL
  4. 4. Vwater = 416.7 mL
  5. 5. c = 0.125 mol/L
  6. 6. c = 1.108 mol/L
