Chemistry 4 Laboratory Activity 1

Solution Preparation (50 min)

1. Prepare 50 ml of 5% v/v acetic acid solution using concentrated glacial acetic acid.
2. Prepare 10 ml of 1.2 M HCl from concentrated HCl. From the 1.2 M stock solution, prepare
10 ml of 0.72 M HCl.
3. Prepare 50 g of aqueous solution that is 5% w/w NaCl. What is the required mass of the
NaCl?
4. A laboratory procedure requires 50 ml of approximately 1.75 M NaOH aqueous solution.
Prepare this using solid NaOH.
