work to 3 significant figures (3 important numbers)

part 1, warm up
calculate the number of moles of either H+ or -OH ions in each of the solutions,
(you can assume that the acid or base is totally ionised in water)
Q1 (worked example)
200ml of 1.00 mol/dm3 HCl solution (hydrocholric acid)
answer,
use triangle 1 equation 1,
mol = conc x dm3 mol /
1 x (200/1000) conc = vol (dm3)
1 x 0.2
0.2
Answer = 0.2 mol H+ equation 2,
mass (g) /
mol = Mr
Q2
400ml of 0.4 mol/dm3 HNO3 solution (nitric acid)
mol = conc x dm3
0.4 x(400/1000)
Answer = 0.16 mol
Q3
18ml of 0.1 mol/dm3 HNO3 solution (nitric acid)
mol = conc x dm3
0.1x(18/1000)
Answer = 0.0018 mol
Q4
25ml of 2 mol/dm3 NaOH solution (sodium hydroxide)
mol = conc x dm3
2x(25/1000 )
Answer = 0.05
Q5
39ml of 1 mol/dm3 KOH solution (potassium hydroxide)
mol = conc x dm3
1x(39/1000 )
Answer = 0.039
Q6 (careful)
50ml of 0.5 mol/dm3 Mg(OH)2 solution (magnesium hydroxide)
mol = conc x dm3
0.5x(50/1000 )
Answer = 0.025
Q7 (careful)
125ml of 0.6 mol/dm3 H2SO4 solution (sulphuric acid)
mol = conc x dm3
0.6x( 125/1000)
Answer = 0.075
Q8 (careful)
38ml of 0.5 mol/dm3 H3PO4 solution (phosphoric acid)
mol = conc x dm3
0.5x(38/1000 )
Answer = 0.019
Q9 (careful)
47ml of 2.5 mol/dm3 H2SO4 solution (sulphuric acid)
mol = conc x dm3
2.5x( 47/1000)
Answer = 0.1175
Q10 (careful)
417ml of 0.06 mol/dm3 Mg(OH)2 solution (magnesium hydroxide)
conc x dm3
0.06x(417/1000 )
Answer = 0.025
(3 important numbers)
part 2, getting complicated
calculate the number of moles of either H+ or -OH ions in each of the solutions,
(you can assume that the acid or base is totally ionised in water)
Q11 (worked example)
200ml solution that contains 12g of HCl
answer,
use equation 2
mol = mass / Mr
12 / 36.5
0.329
Answer = 0.329 mol H+ (note the 200ml is not needed at this point)

mol = mass / Mr
6.3/63.01
0.099
Q13
125ml solution that contains 25g HNO3
mol = mass / Mr
25/63.01
0.39
Q14
48ml solution that contains 16g NaOH
mol = mass / Mr
16/39.99
0.4
Q15
27ml solution that contains 2.8g KOH
mol = mass / Mr
2.8/56.105
0.049

mol = mass / Mr
2/58.319
0.034
Q17
28ml solution that contains 24.5g H2SO4
mol = mass / Mr
24.5 / 98.07
