QUESTION 3
3.1 Imagine that a chemist wants to measure out 0.214 ml of benzene, but lacks the
equipment to accurately measure such a small volume. The chemist, however, is
equipped with an analytical balance capable of measuring up to ±0.000lg. Looking at a
reference table, the chemist learns the density of benzene (p=0.8765g/ml ). How many
grams of benzene should the chemist use?
{4}
3.2 A rock has a mass of 20.5 g and a volume of 15.05 cm3. What is its density?
{4}
3.3 A rock has a density of 18.3 g/cm 3• If you have a rock bar with a volume of
43.9 cm3, what is its mass?

4.2 How many milliliters of a 1.5 M solution of hydrochloric acid are needed to prepare
500ml of a 0.25 M solution?
{4}
4.3 How many ml of 2.0M H2SO4are needed to make 400ml of 0.11M H2SO4_
{4}
4.4 24.6 ml of a 0.S0M monoprotic acid solution was titrated with a 0.18M NaOH solution
What is the volume of NaOH that should be added to the solution in order to reach the
equivalence point?
{4}
4.5 Suppose you want to prepare 250 ml of 0.100 M CuSO4solution by diluting a 1.00 M
CuSO4stock solution. What volume of CuSO4do you need?
{3}
4.6 What is the mass of 0.30 moles Mg(NO3)2
{4}

5.2 A 25.00 ml sample of a hydrochloric acid solution of unknown concentration was titrated
with 0.100 M sodium hydroxide solution. It took 37.55 ml of the sodium hydroxide
solution to reach the endpoint.
Using this equation, HCI+ NaOH NaCl+ H2O, what is the molarity of the hydrochloric
acid solution?
{9}
[18]
