SOLUTION WORKSHEET
1. Calculate the mass percentage of benzene (C6H6) and carbon
tetrachloride (CCl4) if 22 g of benzene is dissolved in 122 g of carbon
tetrachloride.
2. Calculate the molarity of each of the following solutions
(a) 30 g of Co(NO3)26H2O in 4·3 L of solution
(b) 30 mL of 0-5 M H2SO4 diluted to 500 mL.
3. Calculate the mass of urea (NH2CONH2) required in making 2.5 kg of
0.25 molal aqueous solution.
4. Concentrated nitric acid used in the laboratory work is 68% nitric
acid by mass in aqueous solution. What should be the molarity of
such a sample of acid if the density of the solution is 1·504 g mL-1 ?
5. A solution of glucose in water is labelled as 10% w/w, what would be
the molality and mole fraction of each component in the solution? If
the density of solution is 1 .2 g m L-1, then what shall be the molarity
of the solution?
6. How many mL of 0.1 M HCl are required to react completely with 1
g mixture of Na2C03 and NaHCO3 containing equimolar amounts of
both?
7. An antifreeze solution is prepared from 222.6 g of ethylene glycol,
(C2 H6O2 ) and200 g of water. Calculate the molality of the solution. If
the density of the solution is 1.072 g mL-1, then what shall be the
molarity of the solution?
8. A sample of drinking water was found to be severely contaminated
with chloroform (CHCl3), supposed to be a carcinogen. The level of
contamination was 15 ppm (by mass).
(i) express this in percent by mass.
(ii) determine the molality of chloroform in the water sample.
9. If the density of lake water is 1·25 g mL-1, and it contains 92 g of
Na+ ions per kg of water, calculate the molality of Na+ ions in the
lake.
10. Calculate the amount of benzoic acid (C5H5COOH) required for
preparing 250 mL of 0· 15 M solution in methanol.
