The weight of sodium sulfate that is needed to prepare 500 ml of a 23% solution is:
- A.
141.8 g
- B.
11.5 g
- C.
23 g
- D.
115 g
Correct Answer
D. 115 gExplanation
To prepare a 23% solution of sodium sulfate, we need to calculate the weight of sodium sulfate required. A 23% solution means that 23 grams of sodium sulfate is dissolved in 100 ml of solution. To prepare 500 ml of this solution, we can use the proportion method.
Let x be the weight of sodium sulfate required for 500 ml of solution.
Therefore, (23 g / 100 ml) = (x g / 500 ml)
Cross-multiplying, we get 23 * 500 = 100 * x
Simplifying, we find that x = 115 g.
Hence, the correct answer is 115 g.Rate this question:

The amount of the Ba(OH)2 required to prepare 1 liter of 0.3 N barium hydroxide solution is:
- A.
51.3 g
- B.
25.65 g
- C.
46.5 g
- D.
23.25 g
Correct Answer
B. 25.65 gExplanation
To calculate the amount of Ba(OH)2 required, we need to use the formula for molarity: Molarity (M) = moles of solute / volume of solution in liters. In this case, the molarity is given as 0.3 N (normality), which is equivalent to 0.3 mol/L. The molecular weight of Ba(OH)2 is 171.34 g/mol, so to find the moles of Ba(OH)2 needed, we can rearrange the formula: moles = Molarity x volume. Since the volume is given as 1 liter, the moles of Ba(OH)2 needed is 0.3 mol. Finally, to find the mass of Ba(OH)2, we multiply the moles by the molecular weight: mass = moles x molecular weight = 0.3 mol x 171.34 g/mol = 51.402 g. Rounding to the nearest hundredth, the correct answer is 25.65 g.Rate this question:

How many milliliters of concentrated H2So4 (36N) is required to prepare 500 ml of 2/3 N H2SO4 solution?
- A.
9.25 ml
- B.
18.5 ml
- C.
49 ml
Correct Answer
A. 9.25 mlExplanation
To calculate the amount of concentrated H2SO4 needed, we can use the formula:
(N1)(V1) = (N2)(V2)
Where N1 is the concentration of the concentrated H2SO4 (36N), V1 is the volume of the concentrated H2SO4 needed, N2 is the desired concentration (2/3 N), and V2 is the final volume (500 ml).
Plugging in the values, we have:
(36N)(V1) = (2/3 N)(500 ml)
Simplifying, we get:
V1 = (2/3 N)(500 ml) / 36N
V1 = 9.25 ml
Therefore, 9.25 ml of concentrated H2SO4 is required to prepare 500 ml of 2/3 N H2SO4 solution.Rate this question:

- C.
1.97 ml
Correct Answer
C. 1.97 mlExplanation
To find the volume of 0.1 N HCl needed to neutralize 2 ml of 0.0985 N NaOH, we can use the equation:
Molarity of acid x Volume of acid = Molarity of base x Volume of base
Rearranging the equation, we get:
Volume of acid = (Molarity of base x Volume of base) / Molarity of acid
Plugging in the values, we have:
Volume of acid = (0.0985 N x 2 ml) / 0.1 N

What is the normality o a solution made with 100 grams of NaCl diluted to 1 liter with distilled water?
- A.
1.0
- B.
1.7
- C.
2.0
- D.
2.2
Correct Answer
B. 1.7Explanation
The normality of a solution is determined by the number of equivalents of solute present in 1 liter of solution. In this case, NaCl is the solute. To calculate the normality, we need to know the molar mass of NaCl and the number of equivalents of NaCl in the solution. The molar mass of NaCl is 58.44 g/mol. Since NaCl is a strong electrolyte, it dissociates completely in water, and each formula unit of NaCl produces 1 equivalent of Na+ and 1 equivalent of Cl-. Therefore, the number of equivalents of NaCl in the solution is equal to the number of moles of NaCl. By dividing the mass of NaCl (100 g) by its molar mass (58.44 g/mol), we find that there are approximately 1.71 moles of NaCl in the solution. Since the solution is diluted to 1 liter, the normality is approximately 1.71 N, which is closest to the answer 1.7.Rate this question:
