1.Easy
750 mLc = 0.2 mol/L

What mass m of CuSO4 (M = 159.61 g/mol) do you need to make 750 mL of a 0.2 mol/L solution?

V = 750 mLc = 0.2 mol/LM = 159.61 g/mol
m = g
2.Easy
14 g NaClV = 200 mL

14 g of NaCl (M = 58.44 g/mol) is dissolved in water to make 200 mL of solution. Find the molarity c.

m = 14 gM = 58.44 g/molV = 200 mL
c = mol/L
3.Medium
2 mol/LV1​ = ?0.5 mol/L100 mL

You need 100 mL of 0.5 mol/L solution and have a 2 mol/L stock solution. What volume V1 of stock solution do you need?

c1 = 2 mol/Lc2 = 0.5 mol/LV2 = 100 mL
V1 = mL
4.Medium
0.5 mol/LV1​0.25 mol/L200 mL

You need 200 mL of 0.25 mol/L solution and have a 0.5 mol/L stock solution. How much water Vwater do you add to the stock solution?

c1 = 0.5 mol/Lc2 = 0.25 mol/LV2 = 200 mL
Vwater = mL
5.Hard
0.25 mol/L50 mL1.2 mol/L500 mLc = ?550 mL

50 mL of a 0.25 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 = 0.25 mol/LV1 = 50 mLc2 = 1.2 mol/LV2 = 500 mL
c = mol/L
6.Hard
0.5 mol/L100 mL0.75 mol/L200 mLc = ?300 mL

100 mL of a 0.5 mol/L solution is mixed with 200 mL of a 0.75 mol/L solution of the same substance. Find the concentration c of the mixture (volumes are additive).

c1 = 0.5 mol/LV1 = 100 mLc2 = 0.75 mol/LV2 = 200 mL
c = mol/L

Answer key

  1. 1. m = 23.94 g
  2. 2. c = 1.198 mol/L
  3. 3. V1 = 25 mL
  4. 4. Vwater = 100 mL
  5. 5. c = 1.114 mol/L
  6. 6. c = 0.6667 mol/L
