Exercise 1:8

1. Calculate the concentration of NaOH solution produced if a 25.0 cm 3, 0.50 mol dm-3 of NaOH
solution is diluted by adding 225 cm3 of distilled water.

2. Calculate the concentration of solution produced if 100 cm 3, 2.0M of HCl is added to 200 cm 3,
1.0M HCl.

3. Calculate the concentration of H + ion in the solution if 100 cm 3, 2.0M of HCl is added to 200 cm 3,
1.0M H2SO4.

4. 10.0 cm 3 of a hydrocarbon X required 45.0 cm 3 of oxygen for complete combustion to produce

3
30.0 cm of carbon dioxide. All volume is measure at s.t.p. Calculate the molecular formula of X
5. 4.40g of a hydrocarbon Y went through complete combustion in oxygen to produce 14.64 dm 3 of
carbon dioxide and 5.40g of water at room temperature and pressure. Determine the molecular formula of
Y.

6. 24.0 cm 3 of a mixture contains CH4 and C2H6 is ignited with oxygen which is in excess. After the
combustion, the gaseous residue is allowed to stand and cool at the room temperature and pressure.
100cm3 of gaseous residue is bubbled through aqueous sodium hydroxide and the volume of gaseous
residue shrunk to 68 cm3. Calculate the ratio of CH4 and C2H6 in the hydrocarbon mixture.

7. A solution X contains 2.5x10 –2 mol KOH in 250 cm3 of water. Solution B contains 6.125g acid
H2A per dm3. It is found that 25.0 cm 3 of solution X required 20.0 cm 3 of solution Y for complete
neutralization.
i. Write a balanced equation between KOH and H 2A.
ii. Calculate the molar concentration of solution X.
iii. Calculate the molar concentration of solution Y.
iv. Calculate the molecular mass of acid H 2A and with that information, suggest a suitable acid for
H2A.
