moles of solute
M = molarity =
liters of solution
Example 1:
Calculate the molarity of 9.00 g sodium chloride in 88.4 mL of
solution.
Answer:
1) Convert volume from mL to L.
= 88.4 mL x 1 L
1000 mL
= 0.0884 L
2) Calculate moles of NaCl.
mole NaCl = mass NaCl
Molar mass NaCl
= 9.00 g
(22.99 + 35.46) g/mol
= 0.154 mol
3) Molarity of NaCl solution = mole
L of solution
= 0.154 mol = 1.74 mol/L @ 1.74 M
0.0884 L
Example 2:
Calculate mass of KI that is required to make 500 mL of
a 2.80 M KI solution.
Answer:
1) Convert volume from mL to L.
= 500 mL x 1 L
1000 mL
= 0.5 L
2) Calculate moles of KI
Molarity = mol
L of solution
mol = Molarity x L of solution
= 2.80 mol x 0.5 L
L
= 1.4 mol
3) Calculate mass of KI

1) Show how would you prepare 100.0 mL of 0.200 M
HNO3 from a stock solution of 4.00 M HNO3.
MiVi = MfVf
Procedure:
Dilute 5.00 mL of HNO3 with distilled water to a total
volume of 100.0 mL (volumetric flask 100 mL).
pH- A MEASURE OF ACIDITY
• pH – the negative logarithm of the hydrogen in
concentration (in mol/L)
pH = -log [H+]
Solution Is At 250C
neutral [H+] = [OH-] [H+] = 1 x 10-7 pH = 7
acidic [H+] > [OH-] [H+] > 1 x 10-7 pH < 7
basic [H+] < [OH-] [H+] < 1 x 10-7 pH > 7
Other important relationships
pH + pOH = 14.00
pH Meter
The pHs of some common fluids
Example 1:
Calculate the pH of a juice having a hydrogen ion
concentration of 0.76 M.
Answer:
pH = -log [H+]
pH = - log (0.76)
= 0.12
Example 2:
The pH of rainwater collected in a certain region of the
northeastern United States on a particular day was 4.82.
Determine the H+ ion concentration of the rainwater.
Answer:
pH = -log [H+]
[H+] = 10-pH = 10-4.82 = 1.5 x 10-5 M
Example 3:
The OH- ion concentration of a blood sample is
2.5 x 10-7 M. Determine the pH of the blood.
Answer:
1) Calculate pOH of the blood sample:
pOH = -log [OH-]
= -log (2.5 x 10-7)
= 6.60
2) Calculate pH using formula, pH + pOH = 14.00
pH + pOH = 14.00
pH = 14.00 – pOH
= 14.00 – 6.60
= 7.40
Calculation pH for strong acids
Example 1:
Calculate the pH of a 2 x 10-3 M HNO3 solution.
pH = -log [H+]
= -log(2 x 10-3)
= 2.70
Example 2:
Calculate the pH of a 1.5 x 10-3 M H2SO4 solution.
pH = -log [H+]
= -log(3 x 10-3)
= 2.52
