(a)
Interpretation:
Whether the statement, “At a given instant, a solution has a definite percentage composition” is true or not is to be stated. If false, the statement is to be re-written.
Concept introduction:
Solution is a homogenous mixture of two or more components. A sample taken from any part of the solution will have the same composition as the rest of the solution. Many
(b)
Interpretation:
Whether the statement, “The physical properties of a solution of A in B are variable” is true or not is to be stated. If false, the statement is to be re-written.
Concept introduction:
Solution is a homogenous mixture of two or more components. A sample taken from any part of the solution will have the same composition as the rest of the solution. Many chemical reactions occur in water solutions.
(c)
Interpretation:
Whether the statement, “A solution is always made up of two pure substances” is true or not is to be stated. If false, the statement is to be re-written.
Concept introduction:
Solution is a homogenous mixture of two or more components. A sample taken from any part of the solution will have the same composition as the rest of the solution. Many chemical reactions occur in water solutions.
(d)
Interpretation:
Whether the statement, “Different parts of a solution can be detected visually” is true or not is to be stated. If false, the statement is to be re-written.
Concept introduction:
Solution is a homogenous mixture of two or more components. A sample taken from any part of the solution will have the same composition as the rest of the solution. Many chemical reactions occur in water solutions.

- A student weighs out a 4.80-g sample of aluminum bromide, transfers it to a 100-mL volumetric flask, adds enough water to dissolve it, and then adds water to the 100-mL mark. What is the molarity of aluminum bromide in the resulting solution?arrow_forwardA 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?arrow_forwardA solution is defined as a homogeneous mixture. Is a small sample of air a solution? Is the atmosphere a solution?arrow_forward
- 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 H2Oarrow_forwardWhat is the difference between a solute and a solvent?arrow_forwardCalcium 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?arrow_forward
- Distinguish between the solute and solvent in each of the following solutions: a saltwater [NaCl(aq)]; b sterling silver (92.5%Ag,7.5%Cu); c air about 80%N2,20%O2. On what do you base your distinctions? Sterling silver is an alloy of 92.5 silver and 7.5 another metal, usually copper.arrow_forwardUse the term soluble, insoluble, or immiscible to describe the behavior of the following pairs of substances when they are shaken together: a.25mL of water and 1g of salt the resulting mixture is clear and colorless. b.25mL of water and 1g of solid silver chloride the resulting mixture is cloudy and solid settles out. c.25mL of water and 5mL of mineral oil the resulting mixture is cloudy and gradually separates into two layers.arrow_forwardDescribe the use of gravimetric analysis to determine the percentage of chlorine in a water-soluble unknown solid.arrow_forward
- A student mixes four reagents together, thinking that the solutions will neutralize each other. The solutions mixed together are 50.0 mL of 0.100M hydrochloric acid, 100.0 mL of 0.200 M of nitric acid, 500.0 mL of 0.0100 M calcium hydroxide, and 200.0 mL of 0.100 M rubidium hydroxide. Did the acids and bases exactly neutralize each other? If not, calculate the concentration of excess H+ or OH ions left in solution.arrow_forwardYou have a solution of table salt in water. What happens to the salt concentration (increases, decreases, or stays the same) as the solution boils? Draw pictures to explain your answer.arrow_forwardDescribe in words the titration of an acid with a base. Be sure to use the terms equivalence point, indicator, and end point correctly.arrow_forward
