Activity 2.1

Show your solutions and do not forget to provide units in your solution and your final
answer.
1. Calculate the mass (in grams) of magnesium chloride (MgCl2) that would be
needed to prepare 150 mL of a 20% by mass aqueous solution of the salt.
The density of the solution is 1.1 g/mL

% by mass =
mass of solute X 100
mass of solution
20% = x x X 100
150 mL (1.1 g/mL)
x = 20% (150 mL) (1.1 g/mL) x
100
x = 33 g
2. Calculate the percent by mass of the solution containing 8.60 g of salt in 95.0
g of solution.

% by mass = mass of solute X 100

mass of solution
% by mass = 8.60 g x X 100
95.0 g

% by mass = 9.05 %

3. A solution is prepared by dissolving 20 mL of pure hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)

in enough water to make 200 mL of solution. What is the concentration of the
H2O2 solution?

% by volume = volume of solute X 100

volume of solution
% by volume = 20 mL x X 100
200 mL

% by volume = 10 %
