What mass of solute do you need to make 50 ml of a 20 g/L solution?

[tex]\frac{20_g}{1000_{ml}}=\frac{x_{g}}{50_{ml}}[/tex]

20 g/L = 1 g/50ml

Answer: 1 g

How many grams of solute are there in 300 g of .50% NaCl solution

[tex].50%=\frac{x_g}{300_{ml}} * 100[/tex]
[tex].005%=\frac{x_g}{300_{ml}}[/tex]
x=1.5 grams

How'd I do?

Thanks

How many grams of solute are needed to prepare 250 ml of a 10 mol/L HCl solution

1 mol of HCl=36 grams (Cl=35 + H=1)

[tex]\frac{10_{mol}}{1000_{ml}}=\frac{x_{mol}}{250_{ml}}[/tex]

2.5 mol x 36 = 90 grams

?
 
The second is okay.I wish you had put the zero before the dot,as it's highly misleading...

The last is okay.

Daniel.
 
thanks, sorry bout the zero
