Lesson: Chapter 3 — Mixtures

Making a standard solution 2 of 5

Question 2

What mass of sodium chloride is needed to make 2 dm³ of a 1 mol dm⁻³ solution? (Na = 23.0, Cl = 35.5)

The right answer is the one marked above.

117 g. The molar mass is 58.5 g mol⁻¹, so one cubic decimetre needs 58.5 g and two need twice that.

29.25 g is the answer for 500 cm³ and 58.5 g is the answer for 1 dm³ — both are worked in the skill, and picking one of them here means the volume in the question was not read.

Answer the question to continue.
