Accepted Answer

NaNO$$_3$$

Question 4

A solution is prepared by dissolving 10.0 g of NaCl in enough water to make 200.0 g of solution. What is the mass percent of NaCl in the solution?

Accepted Answer

$$	ext{Mass percent} = \frac{10.0}{200.0} 	imes 100 = 5.0\%$$

Question 5

Which of the following statements about electrolytes is correct?

Accepted Answer

Strong electrolytes completely dissociate into ions in solution

Question 6

A 0.20 M solution of glucose (C$$_6H$_{12}O$_6) is $$classified as which of the following?

Accepted Answer

A nonelectrolyte solution

Question 7

Which of the following best explains why oil does not dissolve in water?

Accepted Answer

Oil is nonpolar and water is polar, so there are no favorable interactions

Question 8

A solution contains 0.5 mol of KCl dissolved in 1.0 L of water. What is the molarity of the solution?

Accepted Answer

$$M = \frac{0.5\ 	ext{mol}}{1.0\ 	ext{L}} = 0.5\ 	ext{M}$$

Question 9

Which of the following changes will increase the solubility of a gas in a liquid?

Accepted Answer

Decreasing the temperature and increasing the pressure

Question 10

A patient receives an IV solution labeled as 0.9% NaCl (w/v). What does this concentration mean?

Accepted Answer

0.9 g NaCl per 100 mL of solution

Question 11

Which of the following is an example of a supersaturated solution?

Accepted Answer

A solution that contains more solute than can normally dissolve at a given temperature

Question 12

Which of the following best describes the process of dilution?

Accepted Answer

Adding solvent to decrease the concentration of a solution

Question 13

A 100.0 mL sample of 1.50 M HCl is diluted to 300.0 mL. What is the final concentration?

Accepted Answer

$$C_1$$ $$V_1$$ = $$C_2$$ $$V_2$$ \Rightarrow $$C_2$$ = \frac{1.50 	imes 100.0}{300.0} = 0.500\ 	ext{M}$$

A solution is prepared by mixing 25.0 g of ethanol (C$$_2H$_5OH$)$$ with 75.0 g of water. What is the mass percent of ethanol?

Accepted Answer

$$	ext{Mass percent} = \frac{25.0}{25.0 + 75.0} 	imes 100 = 25.0\%$$
