Explain your understanding:

1. Mole calculation review. Show your work:

a. How many moles is
55 g of NaCl?

0.025 g of NaCO3?

b. How many grams is

0.5 moles of NaCl?

2.11 moles of NaCO3?

2. There are several ways to measure Concentration. This simulation uses Molarity (mol/L).
a. What does mol/L mean?
A// mol/l is a unit that is used for molarity. Indicates the number of moles of solute per liter of
solution (moles/Liter) and is one of the most common units used to measure the concentration of
a solution.

b. Describe in your own words how mol/L compares to grams/liter. (similarities and differences)
A// Both mol/l and g/l are a unit of measurement. The difference is that mol/l is a measure of the
concentration of a chemical species: solute in a solution and g/l a is measurement of mass
concentration that shows how many grams of a certain substance.
3. Describe at least 2 ways in the simulation to change each of the following parameters:
a. Volume of solution
A// By adding and removing the solution, by evaporation, by adding and removing the solute
b. Amount of solute
A// BY evaporating the solution, by adding and removing the solute and the solution
c. Concentration of solute in solution
A// By adding and removing the solution and the solute

4. Volume effects on concentration:

a. Is dilution directly or indirectly related to Molarity?
Explain how you used the sim to determine the relationship and give evidence of
measurements you made to support your ideas.
A// dilution is indirectly related to concentration. Dilution means addition of solvent. Addition of
solvent will increase the volume.

b. How is evaporation related to Molarity? Use your own words to describe why the relationship
makes sense based on the data you used to support the dilution relationship.
A// Can be related because when evaporation occur it change the amount of volume so it
change the molarity.

c. What is one way to change the volume without changing the concentration? Describe why the
concentration doesn’t change.
A// Removing both the solute and the solution. It doesn’t change because you are removing both
at the same time.

5. Does the concentration change in the same way if you used solid or liquid to add solute? Explain
why your observation makes sense using things from your everyday life like table salt.
A// The only difference is that the solid solute does not change the amount of volume, but the liquid
solute changes the amount of volume
