How to prepare solutions and dilutions

Practise with these MCQs


Calculating a dilution:


Exercise 1: from a commercial solution of ammonia
Calculate the volume of commercial solution needed to prepare a 100 mL solution of NH4OH à 4 x 10-3 mol/L.
The information available on the label is as follows::

  • For the density, take the smallest value
  • For the mass content, take 0.28
  • Reminder: MN : 14 g/mol ; MO : 16 g/mol ; MH : 1 g/mol

Picture of the label of a glass bottle. The label says ammonia 28%, for analysis.

Exercise 2: mass concentration
Calculate the mass of ammonium vanadate salt (NH4VO3) needed to prepare a 100 mL solution of NH4+ at 100 mg/l.
The information available on the label is as follows:

  • MNH4 : 18.0 g/mol
  • Msalt : 116.98 g/mol
