Define Molarity (M).

Define Mass percentage.

Concentrated nitric acid used in laboratory work is 68% nitric acid by mass in aqueous solution. What should be the molarity of such a sample of the acid if the density of the solution is 1.504 g mL⁻¹?

A solution of glucose in water is labelled as 10% w/w, what would be the molality and mole fraction of each component in the solution? If the density of solution is 1.2 g mL⁻¹, then what shall be the molarity of the solution?

How many mL of 0.1 M HCl are required to react completely with 1 g mixture of Na₂CO₃ and NaHCO₃ containing equimolar amounts of both?

A solution is obtained by mixing 300 g of 25% solution and 400 g of 40% solution by mass. Calculate the mass percentage of the resulting solution.

An antifreeze solution is prepared from 222.6 g of ethylene glycol (C₂H₆O₂) and 200 g of water. Calculate the molality of the solution. If the density of the solution is 1.072 g mL⁻¹, then what shall be the molarity of the solution?

A sample of drinking water was found to be severely contaminated with chloroform (CHCl₃) supposed to be a carcinogen. The level of contamination was 15 ppm (by mass):

1. express this in percent by mass.
2. determine the molality of chloroform in the water sample.

If the density of some lake water is 1.25 g mL⁻¹ and contains 92 g of Na⁺ ions per kg of water, calculate the molality of Na⁺ ions in the lake.

If the solubility product of CuS is 6 × 10⁻¹⁶, calculate the maximum molarity of CuS in aqueous solution.

Nalorphene (C₁₉H₂₁NO₃), similar to morphine, is used to combat withdrawal symptoms in narcotic users. Dose of nalorphene generally given is 1.5 mg. Calculate the mass of 1.5 × 10⁻³ m aqueous solution required for the above dose.

The decomposition of NH₃ on platinum surface is zero order reaction. What are the rates of production of N₂ and H₂ if k = 2.5 × 10⁻⁴ mol⁻¹ L s⁻¹?

The reaction between A and B is first order with respect to A and zero order with respect to B. Fill in the blanks in the following table:

Why is adsorption always exothermic?

Silver atom has completely filled d orbitals (4d¹⁰) in its ground state. How can you say that it is a transition element?

Explain giving reason:

Transition metals and many of their compounds show paramagnetic behaviour.
