1- Calculate the amount of solute necessary to prepare 400 grams of a 6% m/m solution.
Resolution: If the concentration is 6% m/m, it indicates that there are 6 grams of solute in 100 g of solution.
so much for 400 g of solution will be necessary to propose:
400 g solution x 6 g of solute
100 g solution 24 g of solute
2-Calculate the amount of solute in 56 grams of a 30% m/m solution.
R: 16.8 g of solute
3-Calculate the amount of solute in 450 grams of a 10% m/m solution. A: 45 g of
solution
4-Calculate the amount of solute in 200 grams of a 5% m/m solution. A: 10 g
solution
5-Calculate the amount of solute in 450 grams of a 20% v/v solution. A: 90 mL of
solution
6- Calculate the amount of solute in 980 mL of 25% v/v solution: 245 mL of solute
7-Calculate the amount of CaCO3(calcium carbonate) present in 50 mL of 30% v/v solution
R: 15 mL.
8-Calculate the amount of NaOH needed to prepare 300 ml of a 45% w/V solution.
135 g of NaOH
9-Calculate the concentration of the solution in m/m that has been prepared by dissolving 20 grams of sugar.
in 300 grams of water R: 6.25% m/m
The solution is given by the sum of the grams of solute and solvent, so it will be: 300 g of
water + 20 grams of sugar = 320 grams of solution
We present the situation:
If in 320 g of solution I have 20 grams of sugar, in 100 grams (%) it will have:
100 g of solution x 20 grams of sugar = 6.25% m/m
320 g of sugar
10-Calculate the concentration of the solution in m/m that has been prepared by dissolving 6 grams of
salt in 80 grams of water: 6.98% m/m
11-Calculate the concentration of the solution in m/m that has been prepared by dissolving 50 grams.
of naphthalene in 500 grams of benzene. R: 9.1 % m/m
12-Calculate the volume/volume concentration of the solution that has been prepared by dissolving 20 mL of
alcohol in 40 mL of water (volume of additives) R: 33.33% v/v
Calculate the concentration of the solution in V/v that has been prepared by dissolving 5 mL of ether.
In 60 mL of alcohol (vol. additives) R: 7.7% v/v

14-Calculate the concentration of the solution in m/V that has been prepared by dissolving 60 grams
of glucose in 800 mL of solution. R: 7.5 % m/v
15-Calculate the concentration of the solution in m/v that has been prepared by dissolving 3 grams of
silver nitrate in 60 mL of solution. A: 5% m/v
16-Calculate the concentration of the solution in m/v that has been prepared by dissolving 15 grams.
of urea in 750 mL of solution. R: 2% m/v
17-How many molecules of methane (CH4How many molecules are there in 10 moles of that compound?
R: 6.02 x 1024molecules
18-How many moles of aluminum are there in 135 grams of this metal? A: 5 moles of aluminum
19-How many moles of silver are there in 60 grams of the metal? A: 0.55 moles of silver.
20- How many molecules of water are there in 100 grams of water? A: 3.34 x 1024water molecules
21-Determine the number of molecules and the number of moles of NaCl contained in 175.5 grams of salt.
R: 1.80 x 1024water molecules and 3 moles of water.
Example: Calculate the molarity of 300 ml of NaOH solution in which 120 grams were dissolved.
composed.
300 ml of solution = 120 g of NaOH 1000 ml of solution. X 120 g of NaOH = 400 g NaOH
1000 ml of solution = x grams of NaOH
300 ml of salt
So:
40 g NaOH ----- 1 mol
400 g NaOH = 10 M
Note: Another way is by applying the following formula:
M= g (grams of solute) = 120 g NaOH 10 M
V (volume of solution in L) x MW (molecular weight) (0.3 L of solution x 40 g of NaOH)
22-Calculate the molarity of a 250 ml solution in which 30 grams of sodium chloride are dissolved.
(NaCl).R: 2.05 M

25-What is the molarity of a solution of 20 g of NaCl in 180 mL of water? A: 1.89 M
26-Calculate the grams of HCl required to prepare 500 ml of a 0.5 M solution. A: 9.12 g of
HCl
27-Calculate the grams of Ca(OH)2what is needed to prepare 750 ml of 0.5 M solution: 27.75
