Exercise 1

1. Assume that we have a solution of H2SO4 0.5 M in the laboratory. What

volume of H2SO4 0.5 M solution is required to obtain 0.005 mol of H2SO4?
2. Find out the molarity of the following solutions:
a) 7.1 g of sodium sulfate (Na2SO4) in 250 mL solution. (Ar Na=23, S=32,
O=16)
b) 0.002 mol of Fe(NO3)2 in 15 mL solution.
3. A student plans to make a 250 mL solution of 0.1 M K2SO4. How many
grams of K2SO4 must be used? (Ar K=39, S=32, O=16)
4. What is the volume of a 0.5 M H2SO4 solution needed to prepare a solution
of 0.2 M H2SO4 using a 250 mL volumetric flask?
5. Hydrochloric acid (HCl) contain 37% of HCl mass and density of 1.19 kg/L
a) Determine the molarity of the solution! (Ar H=1, Cl=35.5)
b) What is the volume of solution needed to prepare about 500 mL of HCl
4M?
