Analytical Chemistry Questions and Problems

4.1 (a) The millimole is an amount of a chemical species, such as an atom, an ion, a
molecule or an electron. A millimole contains
particles mole particles
6 . 02 ×1023 ∗ 10−3 = 6 . 02×1020
mole millimole millimole
(b) The molar mass is the mass in grams of one mole of a chemical species.
(c) The millimolar mass is the mass in grams of one millimole of a chemical species.
(d) Parts per million, cppm, is a term expressing the concentration of very dilute solutions.
Thus,
mass of solute
= × 106 ppm
cppm mass of solution
The units of mass in the numerator and the denominator must be the same.

4.2 The species molarity of a solution expresses the equilibrium concentration of a chemical
species in terms of moles per liter. The analytical molarity of a solution gives the total
number of moles of a solute in one liter. The species molarity takes into account
chemical reactions that occur in solution. The analytical molarity specifies how the
solution was prepared, but does not account for any subsequent reactions.
