4.4 Calculate the total mass of a solution prepared by additing 12,0 g of

sodium chloride, 4,28 g of potassium nitrate, and 1,03 g of potassium
chromate to 6,00 x 102 g of water.
Answer:
m NaCl=12,0 g

Total mass of the solution=....?

m KNO3=42,8 g
m K2CrO4=1,03 g
m H2O=6,00 X102
Total mass = m H2O + m NaCl +

m KNO3 + m K2CrO4

=6,00 X102 + 12,0 g + 42,8 g + 1,03 g

=617,31 g

4.5 In order to calibrate a pipet, a student weighs the water which drains
forms it after it has been filled to the mark. He obtains a mass of
9,9654 g. The density of water is 0,9970 g/mL. What is the volume of the

4.6 The gram equivalent weigh of an element can be defined as the weight
that combines with the 8 g of oxygen. A student finds that when a metal
oxide sample weighing 2,148 g is reduced with hydrogen, the pure metal
remaining weighs 1,509 g.
a. What is the weight of oxygen in the sample?
b. What is the gram equivalent weight of metal?

4.7 A sample of a certain compound weighing 2,040 g is found by analysis to

contain 0,721 g of carbon and 0,050 g of hydrogen. It is known that the
only other element present is iodine. What is the weight of iodine in the
sample?
Total mass=2,040 g

mass of iodine=....?

m Carbon=0,721 g
m Hydrogen=0,050 g
Total mass= mCarbon + mHydrogen + mIodine
2,040 g = 0,721 g + 0,050 g + mIodine

4.8 When carbon burns in air, 3,667 g of carbon dioxide are formed for
every gram of carbon. What mass of carbon dioxide is formed from
samples of carbon weighing:
a. 2,000 g
b. 6,2 g

4.9 The molarity of a solution of sodium chloride can be expressed as:

Where g = mass in gram

T = Temperature in K = 0C + 273,17
P = Pressure in atm = pressure in mmHg/760,0
V= Volume in mL
R= Gas constant = 82,06 mL atm/mole K

Answer:
m=1,602 g
V=224 mL
