A chemistry student must write down in her lab notebook the concentration of a solution of sodium thiosulfate. The concentration of a solution equals the mass of what's dissolved divided by the total volume of the solution. Here's how the student prepared the solution: • The label on the graduated cylinder says: empty weight: 5.0 g • She put some solid sodium thiosulfate into the graduated cylinder and weighed it. With the sodium thiosulfate added, the cylinder weighed 61.167 g. • She added water to the graduated cylinder and dissolved the sodium thiosulfate completely. Then she read the total volume of the solution from the markings on the graduated cylinder. The total volume of the solution was 10.64 mL. What concentration should the student write down in her lab notebook? Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.

You want to prepare a 1.0 mol/kg solution of ethyleneglycol, C2H4(OH)2, in water. Calculate the mass of ethylene glycol you would need to mix with 950. g water.
A student was given a 1.6240-g sample of a mixture of sodium nitrate and sodium chloride and was asked to find the percentage of each compound in the mixture. She dissolved the sample and added a solution that contained an excess of silver nitrate. The silver ion precipitated all of the chloride ion in the mixture as silver chloride. It was filtered, dried, and weighed. Its mass was 2.056g. What was the percentage of each compound in the mixture?

Calcium carbonate, CaCO3, can be obtained in a very pure state. Standard solutions of calcium ion are usually prepared by dissolving calcium carbonate in acid. What mass of CaCO3 should be taken to prepare 500. mL of 0.0200 M calcium ion solution?
What is the difference between a solute and a solvent?
The units of parts per million (ppm) and parts per billion (ppb) are commonly used by environmental chemists. In general, 1 ppm means 1 part of solute for every 106 parts of solution. Mathematically, by mass: ppm=gsolutegsolution=mgsolutekgsolution In the case of very dilute aqueous solutions, a concentration of 1.0 ppm is equal to 1.0 g of solute per 1.0 mL, which equals 1.0 g solution. Parts per billion is defined in a similar fashion. Calculate the molarity of each of the following aqueous solutions. a. 5.0 ppb Hg in H2O b. 1.0 ppb CHCl3 in H2O c. 10.0 ppm As in H2O d. 0.10 ppm DDT (C14H9Cl5) in H2O

Molarity is a conversion factor relating moles of solute in solution to the volume of the solution. How does one use molarity as a conversion factor to convert from moles of solute to volume of solution, and from volume of solution to moles of solute present?
ssume a highly magnified view of a solution of HCI that allows you to “see” the HCl. Draw this magnified view. If you dropped in a piece of magnesium, the magnesium would disappear, and hydrogen gas would he released. Represent this change using symbols for the elements, and write the balanced equation.
