Question

1. You need to make an aqueous solution of 0.241 M chromium(II) bromide for an experiment in lab, using a 125 mL volumetric flask. How much solid chromium(II) bromide should you add? __________ g

2. How many milliliters of an aqueous solution of 0.146 M copper(II) sulfate is needed to obtain 16.9 grams of the salt? __________ mL

3. In the laboratory, a student dilutes 10.1 mL of a 7.18 M hydrobromic acid solution to a total volume of 250.0 mL. What is the concentration of the diluted solution ? ___________ M

Explanation / Answer

(1) CuBr2 molar mass = 223.35 g / mol

   molarity CuBr2 = 0.241 M

volume (V) = 125 ml

molarity = (weight / molar mass ) x 1000 / volume (ml)

0.241 = ( weight / 223.35 ) x 1000 / 125

weight = 6.73 g

(2) CuSO4 molar mass = 159.6 g/mol

     CuSo4 mass = 16.9 g

CuSO4 moles = mass / molar mass

                        = 16.9 / 159.6

                        = 0.106

molarity = (moles / volume ) x 1000

0.146 = (0.106 / V ) x 1000

V = 726 ml

volume = 726 ml

(3)

M1 V1 = M2 V2

7.18 x 10.1 = M2 x 250

M2 = 0.290 M

the concentration of the diluted solution =0.290 M
