Q: Which equation correctly expresses mass percent of a solute in a solution?

$\text{mass percent} = \frac{\text{mass solute}}{\text{mass solute} + \text{mass solvent}} \times 100$

Question 1

Which of the following statements best describes a solution?

Accepted Answer

A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances.

Question 2

In a solution of saltwater, which component is considered the solvent?

Accepted Answer

Water, because it is present in greater amount.

Question 3

Which statement correctly explains why sodium chloride (NaCl) dissolves in water?

Accepted Answer

The solvent-solute attractions (ion-dipole interactions) overcome the solute-solute and solvent-solvent attractions.

Question 4

Which of the following best describes the solubility of gases in liquids as temperature increases?

Accepted Answer

Solubility of gases in liquids decreases with increasing temperature.

Question 5

A solution is prepared by dissolving 36 g of NaCl in 100 g of water at 25°C. What type of solution is this?

Accepted Answer

Saturated solution

Question 6

Which of the following is a correct statement about electrolyte solutions?

Accepted Answer

Electrolyte solutions contain dissolved ions and conduct electricity.

Question 7

Which equation correctly expresses mass percent of a solute in a solution?

Accepted Answer

$	ext{mass percent} = \frac{	ext{mass solute}}{	ext{mass solute} + 	ext{mass solvent}} 	imes 100$

Question 8

A solution is made by dissolving 15.5 g of NaCl into enough water to make 1.50 L of solution. What is the molarity of NaCl? (Molar mass of NaCl = 58.44 g/mol)

Accepted Answer

$0.177\ 	ext{M}$

Question 9

Which of the following statements about molarity is correct?

Accepted Answer

Molarity is defined as moles of solute per liter of solution.

Question 10

A 1.0 M solution of CaCl$_2$ contains how many moles of Cl$^-$ ions per liter?

Accepted Answer

$2.0\ 	ext{mol}$

Question 11

Which equation is used to calculate the volume of stock solution needed to prepare a diluted solution?

Accepted Answer

$M_1V_1 = M_2V_2$

Question 12

If you have 0.100 L of 1.5 M NaOH and want to prepare a 1.0 M NaOH solution, what will be the final volume after dilution?

Accepted Answer

$0.150\ 	ext{L}$

Question 13

Which property is a colligative property?

Accepted Answer

Boiling point elevation

Question 14

What is the freezing point of a solution containing 1.1 molal ethylene glycol in water? ($K_f$ for water = $1.86\ ^\circ	ext{C}\cdot	ext{kg solvent}/	ext{mol solute}$)

Accepted Answer

$-2.05\ ^\circ	ext{C}$

Question 15

Which equation is used to calculate freezing point depression?

Accepted Answer

$\Delta T_f = m 	imes K_f$

Question 16

A solution is made by dissolving 17.2 g of ethylene glycol ($C_2H_6O_2$) in 0.0500 kg of water. What is the molality of the solution? (Molar mass of ethylene glycol = 62.07 g/mol)

Accepted Answer

$5.54\ 	ext{m}$

Question 17

Which of the following best describes osmosis?

Accepted Answer

The flow of solvent from a less concentrated solution to a more concentrated solution through a semipermeable membrane.

Question 18

Why must intravenous (IV) solutions be isoosmotic with bodily fluids?

Accepted Answer

To prevent water from being pumped into or out of cells, maintaining cell integrity.
