1.

Calculate the mass (in grams) of magnesium chloride (MgCl 2) 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. Note: density = mass/volume

150 mL x 1.1 g/mL = 165g

165 x 20 / 100 = 3,300 / 100 = 33g of MgCl2

2. What is the molarity of a solution that contains 10.0 grams of Silver Nitrate that
has been dissolved in 750 mL of water?

V = 750 mL = 0.75 L

10g / 169.87g/mol = 0.0589 mol

M = n/v

M = 0.0589 mol / 0.75 L

M = 0.79 mol/L

3. What is the molality of a solution that contains 48 grams of sodium chloride and
250 mL of water?

Solute

48g / 58.44 g/mol = 0.82 NaCl

Solvent

250g (1kg) / 1000g = 0.25kg H2O

M = 0.82 mol NaCl / 0.25kg H2O

M = 3.28 mol/kg

4. What is the mole fraction of the solute in the solution from problem 2?

100 x n (AgNO3) / nsol

= 100 x (10 / 170) / (10 / 170) + (750 / 18)

= 0.1409
= 14.09%

5. How many mL of hydrogen peroxide are needed to make a 8.5% solution by

volume of hydrogen peroxide if you want to make 450 mL of solution?

450 mL x 8.5% = 38.25 mL
