1.Easy
19 g CuSO4​V = 500 mL

19 g of CuSO4 (M = 159.61 g/mol) is dissolved in water to make 500 mL of solution. Find the molarity c.

m = 19 gM = 159.61 g/molV = 500 mL
c = mol/L
2.Easy
750 mLc = 0.1 mol/L

What mass m of KNO3 (M = 101.1 g/mol) do you need to make 750 mL of a 0.1 mol/L solution?

V = 750 mLc = 0.1 mol/LM = 101.1 g/mol
m = g
3.Medium
1.5 mol/LV1​ = ?0.1 mol/L200 mL

You need 200 mL of 0.1 mol/L solution and have a 1.5 mol/L stock solution. What volume V1 of stock solution do you need?

c1 = 1.5 mol/Lc2 = 0.1 mol/LV2 = 200 mL
V1 = mL
4.Medium
4 mol/LV1​ = ?0.5 mol/L200 mL

You need 200 mL of 0.5 mol/L solution and have a 4 mol/L stock solution. What volume V1 of stock solution do you need?

c1 = 4 mol/Lc2 = 0.5 mol/LV2 = 200 mL
V1 = mL
5.Hard
2 mol/L250 mL0.05 mol/L400 mLc = ?650 mL

250 mL of a 2 mol/L solution is mixed with 400 mL of a 0.05 mol/L solution of the same substance. Find the concentration c of the mixture (volumes are additive).

c1 = 2 mol/LV1 = 250 mLc2 = 0.05 mol/LV2 = 400 mL
c = mol/L
6.Hard
0.25 mol/L200 mL2.5 mol/L400 mLc = ?600 mL

200 mL of a 0.25 mol/L solution is mixed with 400 mL of a 2.5 mol/L solution of the same substance. Find the concentration c of the mixture (volumes are additive).

c1 = 0.25 mol/LV1 = 200 mLc2 = 2.5 mol/LV2 = 400 mL
c = mol/L

Answer key

  1. 1. c = 0.2381 mol/L
  2. 2. m = 7.582 g
  3. 3. V1 = 13.33 mL
  4. 4. V1 = 25 mL
  5. 5. c = 0.8 mol/L
  6. 6. c = 1.75 mol/L
