Sample Problems for Chemical Measurements

1. Oceanographers often express the density of sea water in units of kilograms per cubic meter. If
the density of sea water is 1.025 g/cm3 at 15 °C, what is its density in kilograms per cubic meter?

2. A concentrated solution of aqueous ammonia is 28.0% w/w NH3 and has a density of 0.899
g/mL. What is the molar concentration of NH 3 in this solution?

3. A laboratory procedure calls for 250 mL of an approximately 0.10 M solution of HCl. Describe
how you would prepare this solution using a stock solution of concentrated HCl (12.1 M).

Pipet 2.1 mL from 12.1 M of HCl and dilute to 250 mL solution.

4. Metallic zinc reacts with aqueous HCl

What volume of 2.50 M HCl, in milliliters, is required to convert 11.8 g of Zn completely to products?
