Correct answer: 75 M

2. Calculate the molarity of a solution of 6.5 g NaCl in 3.4 L H2O

Since we’re not given number of moles, we need to convert the grams of NaCl to moles
using its molar mass (58.44 g/mol).

6.5 g NaCl 1 mol NaCl = 0.11 mol NaCl

58.44 g NaCl

3. Calculate the molarity of a solution of 4.5 g KI in 50.0 mL H2O

4.5 g KI 1 mol KI = 0.027 mol KI

166.0 g KI
Since molarity has units of mol/L, we need to convert 50 mL to L.

50.0 mL 1L = 0.0500 L
1,000 mL

-.-50 !"#
Molarity = -.-2-- )

Correct answer: 0.54 M

4. How many mL of solvent were used to create a 0.45 M solution that contains 3.4 moles of
sugar?

We need to rearrange the molarity formula to solve for liters of solution.

!"#$% %"#'($
Molarity = )*($+% %"#'(*",

1.4 !"#
0.45 M = )*($+% %"#'*",

Liters of solution = 3.4 mol/0.45 M

Liters of solution = 7.6 L

Then, convert the liters of solution to mL, since that is what the question asks for.
7.6 L 1,000 mL = 7,600 mL
1L

Correct answer: 7,600 mL

5. How many moles of H2SO4 are needed to prepare 100.0 mL of a 2.5 M solution?

!"#$% %"#'($
Molarity = )*($+% %"#'(*",

Since M has units of mol/L, we need to convert 100 mL to L.

100.0 mL 1L = 0.1000 L
1,000 mL

2.5 M = -.3--- )

Moles solute = 0.25 mol

Correct answer: 0.25 mol

6. A chemist has 40 mL of a 0.5 M solution of NaOH. How many grams of NaOH are in this
solution?

Convert 40 mL to L first.

40 mL 1L = 0.04 L
1,000 mL

Moles NaOH = 0.02 mol NaOH

Use the molar mass of NaOH (39.99 g/mol) to convert moles to grams NaOH.
0.02 mol NaOH 39.99 g NaOH = 0.8 g NaOH

First, convert the g NaCl to moles using its molar mass (58.44 g/mol).

3.5 g NaCl 1 mol NaCl = 0.060 mol NaCl

58.44 g NaCl

8. A chemist needs to create 250.0 mL of a 5.00 M solution of NaHCO3. How many grams of
NaHCO3 do they need?

Step 1:
250.0 mL 1L = 0.2500 L
1,000 mL

Step 2:
Then, use the molarity formula to convert the number of moles NaHCO3 present in this
volume of solution.

Moles NaHCO3 = 1.25 mol NaHCO3

Step 3:
Use the moles of solute and the molar mass of NaHCO3 (84.007 g/mol) to calculate the
grams of NaHCO3
1.25 mol NaHCO3 84.007 g NaHCO3 = 105 g NaHCO3
1 mol NaHCO3

Correct answer: 105 g NaHCO3

9. A solution of LiNO3 is 45% by mass and has a density of 1.05 g/mL. What is the molarity of
this solution?

Assume 1 L of solution to simplify the calculations.

We first need to calculate the number of moles of LiNO3 in this solution. We do that by
following these steps, which are combined in the calculation below.
1) Convert the assumed 1 L of solution into mL since density has the unit of mL.
2) Then, multiply this by the density of the solution to obtain g of solution.
3) Multiply this by the mass percent of the solution (45 g LiNO3/100 g solution) to get g
of LiNO3.
4) Finally, convert the grams of LiNO3 into moles LiNO3 using its molar mass from the
periodic table.

1L 1,000 mL 1.05 g solution 45 g LiNO3 1 mol LiNO3 = 6.85 mol LiNO3

1L 1 mL 100 g solution 68.946 g LiNO3

Now that we have moles, we just divide this number of moles by the assumed 1 L of
solution to get the molarity of the solution.

10. A solution of 4.5 g triethylamine (TEA) and 25.0 mL benzene was created during a reaction.
The volume of the solution increased after TEA was added. If the density of TEA is 0.726
g/mL and its molar mass is 101.19 g/mol, what is the molarity of the final solution?

Remember, molarity is based on the total volume of solution. So, since the problem
states that the volume of the solution increased after addition of triethylamine, we need
to calculate the volume of triethylamine that was added. Use the density to calculate
this.

Step 1:
4.5 g TEA 1 mL TEA = 6.2 mL TEA
0.726 g TEA

Step 2:
Next, determine the volume of the solution. To do this, add 6.2 mL TEA to 25.0 mL
benzene.

Total solution volume: 6.2 mL + 25.0 mL = 31.2 mL

Convert this to liters by dividing by 1,000.

31.2 mL/1,000 = 0.0312 L solution

Step 3:
Finally, we need to calculate how many moles of triethylamine we have. Use the molar
mass provided (101.19 g/mol).

4.5 g TEA 1 mol TEA = 0.044 mol TEA

101.19 g TEA

Step 4:
Use the mol TEA and total volume of solution to calculate molarity.
