What mass of sodium carbonate solution is in 500 cm3 of 0.1 molar sodium carbonate solution?

(Na = 23, C = 12, O = 16)

A.

10.6 g

B.

5.3 g

C.

500 g

D.

10 g

E.

20 g

Correct answer is B

106 gm Na2CO3 in 1000 cc = 1m
53 gm Na2CO3 in 500 cc = 1m
For 0.1 molar we have (53)/(10) = 5.3

Pure sulfuric acid is a liquid of 1.84 density. What volume of it would be required to prepare 250 cm3 of 2.0 M solution?


(H = 1, S = 32, O = 16)

A.

2.00

B.

2.66

C.

3.00

D.

3.66

E.

4.00

Correct answer is B

1000 cm3 of 1 m H2SO4 contains 98 gm of H2SO4
250 of 1 m H2SO4 (98)/(4) x (2)/(10) = 4.9 gm
But density = (mass)/(volume)
Volume = (Mass)/(Density) (4.90)/(1.84) = 2.66
