SUMMARY

To prepare a 100 mL solution of 0.1 M hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), one must calculate the number of moles required, which is 0.01 moles. This is derived from the formula: moles = volume (mL) × molarity (M) / 1000. The mass of hydrogen peroxide needed is 0.34 grams, calculated using the molar mass of H2O2, which is 34 g/mol. However, the preparation method may vary depending on the concentration of the commercially available hydrogen peroxide solution.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of molarity and solution preparation
  • Knowledge of molar mass calculations
  • Familiarity with measuring liquids accurately
  • Awareness of different concentrations of hydrogen peroxide solutions
NEXT STEPS
  • Research how to dilute concentrated hydrogen peroxide solutions
  • Learn about safety protocols when handling hydrogen peroxide
  • Explore the applications of hydrogen peroxide in laboratory settings
  • Study the effects of concentration on the properties of hydrogen peroxide solutions
USEFUL FOR

Chemistry students, laboratory technicians, and anyone involved in preparing chemical solutions will benefit from this discussion.

Homework Statement


Describe how one would make a 100 mL solution of 0.1 M H2O2?

Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution


to get no. of moles = ml*M/1000
100*0.1/1000= 0.01 moles h202.

mass= 0.01*34= 0.34 g.

Correct?

That's a correct mass of hydrogen peroxide, but that's not a recipe.

To be honest I don't see how to answer the question without knowing what you can use to prepare the solution. Commercially hydrogen peroxide is sold in may different form (solutions of different concentrations), not knowing which one will be used it is impossible to give an answer.

Thank you, My teacher gave us the recipe. i just wanted to check the mass number.
