GENERAL DIRECTIONS: Strictly no ERASURES in the answer sheet. Shade the letter of your
choice in the answer sheet provided. Choose E if your answer is not in the given set of choices. You may
use the questionnaire as scratch. Good luck!

1. You have 505 mL of a 0.125 M HCl solution and you want to dilute it to exactly 0.100 M. How much
water should you add? Assume volumes are additive.
a. 631.25 mL
b. 226.50 mL
c. 126.25 mL
d. 100.50 mL

2. A gravimetric method where the signal is a mass of a precipitate.

a. volatilization gravimetry
b. precipitation gravimetry
c. electrogravimetry
d. thermogravimetry

3. Treatment of a 0.2500-g sample of impure KCl with an excess of AgNO3 resulted in the formation of
0.2912 g of AgCl (143.32 g/mol). Calculate the percentage of KCl (74.55 g/mol) in the sample.
a. 19.71
b. 39.41
c. 60.59
d. 80.30

4. An iron ore was analyzed by dissolving a 1.1324-g sample in concentrated HCl. The resulting
solution was diluted with water, and the iron (III) was precipitated as the hydrous oxide Fe2O3 H2O
by the addition of NH3. After filtration and washingm the residue was ignited at a high temperature
producing 0.5394 g of pure Fe2O3. Calculate the %Fe in the sample.
a. 8.31% Fe
b. 16.62% Fe
c. 33.32% Fe
d. 49.86% Fe

sample?
a. 2.75%
b. 3.45%
c. 4.57%
d. 14.5

8. A 10.231-g sample of a window cleaner containing ammonia was diluted with 39.466 g of water.
Then 4.373 g of solution were titrated with 14.22 mL of 0.1063 M HCl to reach a bromocresol green
endpoint. Find the weight percent of NH3 (17.031 g/mol) in the cleaner.
a. 2.340% w/w
b. 3.396% w/w
c. 2.859% w/w
d. 4.081% w/w
