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
Calculating a mass to be weighed:
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
Exercise 3: molar concentration
Calculate the mass of barium acetate salt needed to prepare a 100 mL solution of Barium at 3 x 10-2 mol/L.
The information available on the label is as follows:
Calculate the mass of barium acetate salt needed to prepare a 100 mL solution of Barium at 3 x 10-2 mol/L.
The information available on the label is as follows:
