HOW MUCH BLEACH IS NEEDED TO MAKE A 200mL, 1 :4 dilution of BLEACH SOLUTION
- A.
50mL
- B.
40mL
- C.
20mL
- D.
800mL
Correct Answer
A. 50mLExplanation
To make a 1:4 dilution of bleach solution, the ratio of bleach to the total volume of the solution is 1:4. This means that for every 1 part of bleach, there should be 4 parts of the solution. Since we want to make a 200mL solution, we can calculate the amount of bleach needed by dividing the total volume by the sum of the ratio parts (1+4=5). Therefore, 200mL/5 = 40mL. However, the question asks for the amount of bleach needed, so we need to multiply this result by the ratio part for bleach (1/5). Thus, 40mL * 1/5 = 8mL. Therefore, the correct answer is 50mL.Rate this question:

- D.
32mL
Correct Answer
B. 5mLExplanation
To make a 40mL, 1:8 dilution of bleach solution, you would need to mix 5mL of bleach with 35mL of water. This is because a 1:8 dilution means that for every 1 part of bleach, you need to add 8 parts of water. So, if you have 40mL total, 1/9th of that (or 4.44mL) would be bleach and the remaining 35.56mL would be water. Since we can't measure 4.44mL, the closest option is 5mL of bleach.Rate this question:

HOW MUCH OF A 20% ALCOHOL SOLUTION IS USED TO PREPARE A 2000mL, 5% ALCOHOL SOLUTION
- A.
5mL
- B.
50mL
- C.
500mL
Correct Answer
C. 500mLExplanation
To prepare a 2000mL, 5% alcohol solution, we need to find out how much of a 20% alcohol solution should be used. The 20% alcohol solution is stronger than the desired 5% solution, so we need to use a smaller amount of it. The ratio of the two solutions can be found by dividing the desired concentration (5%) by the concentration of the stronger solution (20%). 5% divided by 20% is equal to 0.25. To find the amount of the 20% solution needed, we multiply this ratio by the total volume of the desired solution (2000mL). 0.25 multiplied by 2000mL is equal to 500mL. Therefore, 500mL of the 20% alcohol solution should be used.Rate this question:

- C.
100
Correct Answer
C. 100Explanation
To prepare a 200mL, 5% alcohol solution, we need to determine how much of a 10% alcohol solution is needed. Since the concentration of the 10% alcohol solution is higher than the desired 5% concentration, we can use a 1:1 ratio. This means that we need an equal amount of the 10% solution as the desired volume of the 5% solution. Therefore, we need 100mL of the 10% alcohol solution to prepare the 200mL, 5% alcohol solution.Rate this question:

A 4 L OF 20% ALCOHOL IS NEEDED, HOW MUCH 50% ALCOHOL IS REQUIRED TO MAKE 20% ALCOHOL
- A.
1.6L
- B.
16L
- C.
160L
Correct Answer
A. 1.6LExplanation
To make a 20% alcohol solution, we can use the formula: (amount of pure alcohol/total volume of solution) * 100 = desired concentration.
Let's assume x is the amount of 50% alcohol needed.
So, (0.5x + 0.2*4)/ (x + 4) * 100 = 20.
Solving this equation, we find that x = 1.6. Therefore, 1.6L of 50% alcohol is required to make a 20% alcohol solution.Rate this question:

- B.
40mL
- C.
6.4mL
- D.
250mL
Correct Answer
B. 40mLExplanation
To make a 2:15 dilution of bleach solution, it means that for every 2 parts of bleach, there are 15 parts of solvent. In this case, the total volume of the solution is 300mL. To calculate the amount of bleach needed, we can set up a proportion: 2/15 = x/300. Cross-multiplying, we get 15x = 2 * 300, which simplifies to 15x = 600. Solving for x, we find that x = 40mL. Therefore, 40mL of bleach is needed to make a 300mL, 2:15 dilution of bleach solution.Rate this question:

- C.
1000mL
Correct Answer
C. 1000mLExplanation
To prepare a 2000mL, 5M hydrochloric acid solution, we need to use a 10M hydrochloric acid solution. The concentration of the 10M solution is higher than the desired concentration of 5M. Therefore, we need to dilute the 10M solution by adding a certain amount of solvent (in this case, water) to achieve the desired concentration. The amount of 10M solution needed for this dilution can be calculated using the formula: (C1)(V1) = (C2)(V2), where C1 is the initial concentration, V1 is the initial volume, C2 is the final concentration, and V2 is the final volume. Plugging in the given values, we get (10M)(V1) = (5M)(2000mL). Solving for V1 gives us V1 = 1000mL. Therefore, 1000mL of the 10M hydrochloric acid solution is needed to prepare the 2000mL, 5M hydrochloric acid solution.Rate this question:
