Chapter 18: Solutions and properties
Questions (with solutions!)
NOTE: The solutions are wrote by ChatGPT.
I am aware of the solutions may be bad/confusing (I tried to edit the ones that may be confusing). If you are still confused on any question, feel free to ask someone that's good at the topic (or ask ChatGPT for more clarification lol) or you can just skip the question for now, and come back later.
This also means that the solution MAY be wrong (or I wrote the questions wrong for ChatGPT).

2. Compound X has a solubility of 20 g per 100 g of water at 15 °C. How many grams of compound X are contained in 500 g of a saturated solution at the same temperature?
A. 20 g
B. 22.8 g
C. 83.3 g
D. 100 g
Solution:
Let solute mass be \( x \):
\[
\frac{x}{500 - x} = \frac{20}{100}
\]
\[
x = 0.2(500 - x)
\]
\[
x = 100 - 0.2x
\]
\[
1.2x = 100
\]
\[
x = 83.3g
\]
Answer: C. 83.3 g
3. 2 g of iron (III) sulfate [\( \text{Fe}_2(\text{SO}_4)_3 \)] is dissolved in water to form 100 cm\(^3\) of aqueous solution. What is the concentration of \( \text{SO}_4^{2-} \) ions in the solution?
(Molar mass of \( \text{Fe}_2(\text{SO}_4)_3 \) = 400)
A. \( 5 \times 10^{-3} \) mol L\(^{-1}\)
B. \( 1.5 \times 10^{-3} \) mol L\(^{-1}\)
C. \( 5 \times 10^{-2} \) mol L\(^{-1}\)
D. \( 1.5 \times 10^{-1} \) mol L\(^{-1}\)
Solution:
Volume of solution = 100 cm\(^3\) = 0.1 L
Moles of \( \text{Fe}_2(\text{SO}_4)_3 \):
\[
n_{\text{Fe}_2(\text{SO}_4)_3} = \frac{2}{400} = 0.005
\]
Since each \(\text{Fe}_2(\text{SO}_4)_3\) mole contain 3 moles of \(\text{SO}_4^{2-}\), moles of \(\text{SO}_4^{2-}\) is \(0.005 \times 3 = 0.015\).
\[
\text{Concentration of \(\text{SO}_4^{2-}\)} = \frac{0.015}{0.1} = 0.15
\]
Answer: D. \( 1.5 \times 10^{-1} \) mol L\(^{-1}\)
4. Which of the following is the correct method for preparing 1 \(\text{dm}^3\) of 0.25 mol L\(^{-1}\) sodium hydroxide solution?
A. Dissolve 10 g of sodium hydroxide in water, then dilute it to 1 \(\text{dm}^3\)
B. Dissolve 10 g of sodium hydroxide in 990 g of water
C. Dissolve 10 g of sodium hydroxide in 960 g of water
D. Dissolve 10 g of sodium hydroxide in 1 \(\text{dm}^3\) of water
Solution:
Correct method: dissolve in small volume, then dilute to 1 \(\text{dm}^3\).
B, C, D adds a fixed water mass/volume, which may not result in exactly 1 \(\text{dm}^3\) due to volume expansion/contraction.
Answer: A. Dissolve 10 g of sodium hydroxide in water, then dilute it to 1 \(\text{dm}^3\)
5. 100 cm\(^3\) of concentrated sulfuric acid with specific gravity 1.84 and 98% by mass is diluted to 1 \(\text{dm}^3\). What is the molarity of the diluted sulfuric acid?
A. 1 B. 1.84 C. 4.9 D. 9.8
Solution:
Mass of solution = \(100 \times 1.84 = 184\, \text{g}\)
Mass of pure \(\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4\) = \(184 \times 0.98 = 180.32\, \text{g}\)
Moles of \(\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4 = \frac{180.32}{98} \approx 1.84\)
Diluted to 1 dm\(^3\) → Molarity = \(\frac{1.84}{1} = 1.84\, \text{mol L}^{-1}\)
Answer: B. 1.84
6. Which of the following methods can be used to double the concentration of 200 g of 10% common salt solution?
I. Adding 400 g of 25% common salt solution

A. I, II
B. I, III
C. II, IV
D. III, IV
Solution:
Initial salt = \(200 \times 0.10 = 20\, \text{g}\)
To reach 20% concentration → final mass = \( \frac{20}{0.20} = 100\, \text{g} \)
II: Evaporate to 100 g → 20 g salt remains → 20% ✅
IV: Add 20 g salt → 40 g salt in 200 g → 20% ✅
Answer: C. II, IV

I. The concentration of the solution remains unchanged
II. Potassium nitrate is crystallized out of the solution
III. The solution finally formed is a saturated solution
IV. The total amount of solute in the solution remains the same
V. The total amount of solvent in the solution remains the same
A. I, II, III
B. I, IV, V
C. II, III, IV
D. II, III, V
Solution:
Cooling reduces solubility → excess solute crystallizes out ✅
New solution at lower temp is still saturated ✅
Solvent remains unchanged ✅
Solute amount decreases (crystallization), so IV ❌
Answer: D. II, III, V
8. A solubility curve shows that a substance has a solubility of 30 g per 100 g of water at 30 °C, and 60 g per 100 g of water at 60 °C. Which of the following statements is correct?
A. A saturated solution containing 800 g of solution at 60 °C contains 240 g of solute
B. A saturated solution containing 130 g of solution at 30 °C contains 30 g of solute
C. The maximum amount of solute that can dissolve in 100 g of water at 30 °C is 30 g
D. The solubility of the substance increases directly proportionally with temperature
Solution:
C is correct. It's a restatement of the solubility at 30 °C: 30 g per 100 g of water.
A is wrong. 60 g of solute per 100 g water gives a solution mass of 160 g. So for 800 g solution:
Each 160 g contains 60 g solute → \( \frac{60}{160} \times 800 = 300\, \text{g} \), not 240 g.
B is wrong. 130 g of solution does not necessarily contain 30 g solute unless you know how much water is present. If 100 g water + 30 g solute = 130 g total, then yes, but it must be explicitly stated.
D is wrong. The data given looks like "directly proportional", but that's coincidental, not a proof of direct proportionality. Trick question! Also if you look at the graph of the actual question, the line is not linear (it needs to be linear for it to be 'directly proportional'), it's more of a curve.
Answer: C. The maximum amount of solute that can dissolve in 100 g of water at 30 °C is 30 g
9. What is the freezing point of a solution when 0.5 mol of glucose is dissolved in 200 g of water?
(Given: \( K_f = 1.86\,^\circ\text{C kg mol}^{-1} \))
A. 4.65 °C B. 0.084 °C C. -0.084 °C D. -4.65 °C
Solution:
Freezing point depression is calculated using:
\[
\Delta T_f = K_f \times m
\]
where \( m \) is molality in \(molkg^{-1}\).
Water mass = 200 g = 0.2 kg
\[
m = \frac{0.5\, \text{mol}}{0.2\, \text{kg}} = 2.5\, \text{mol/kg}
\]
\[
\Delta T_f = 1.86 \times 2.5 = 4.65^\circ\text{C}
\]
This means the freezing point is lowered by 4.65 °C from pure water’s freezing point (0 °C):
\[
T_f = 0 - 4.65 = -4.65^\circ\text{C}
\]
Answer: D. -4.65 °C
10. 1 g of a compound is dissolved in 75 g of water. The boiling point of the solution is 100.12 °C. Find the molecular weight of the compound.
(Given: Boiling point elevation constant of water is \(0.52\,^\circ\text{C kg mol}^{-1} \))
A. 87 B. 76 C. 79 D. 58
Solution:
\[
\Delta T_b = 100.12 - 100 = 0.12\,^\circ\text{C}
\]
\[
\Delta T_b = K_b \times m
\]
\[
m = \frac{0.12}{0.52} \approx 0.2308\, \text{mol/kg}
\]
\[
\text{Molality} = \frac{n}{0.075\, \text{kg}} = 0.2308
\]
\[
n = 0.2308 \times 0.075 = 0.01731\, \text{mol}
\]
\[
M = \frac{\text{mass}}{\text{moles}} = \frac{1}{0.01731} \approx 57.8
\]
Answer: D. 58
11. 57.2 g of hydrated sodium carbonate, Na\(_2\)CO\(_3\)·10H\(_2\)O (Relative molecular mass = 286), is dissolved in water to produce 1 \(\text{dm}^3\) of solution. What is the concentration of sodium ions?
A. 0.4 mol dm⁻\(^3\)
B. 0.2 mol dm⁻\(^3\)
C. 0.1 mol dm⁻\(^3\)
D. 0.05 mol dm⁻\(^3\)
Solution:
Moles of sodium carbonate:
\[
n = \frac{57.2}{286} = 0.2\ \text{mol}
\]
From the formula:
\[
\text{Na}_2\text{CO}_3 \cdot 10\text{H}_2\text{O} \rightarrow 2\ \text{Na}^+ + \text{CO}_3^{2-}
\]
Each mole of sodium carbonate gives 2 moles of Na⁺:
\[
[\text{Na}^+] = 0.2 \times 2 = 0.4\ \text{mol/dm}^3
\]
Answer: A. 0.4 mol dm⁻\(^3\)
12. A 0.04 mol sample of the bromide of element M is dissolved in water and made up to 300 cm\(^3\). 15 cm\(^3\) of this solution requires 20 cm\(^3\) of 0.2 mol dm⁻\(^3\) silver nitrate solution for complete precipitation. What is the formula of this bromide?
A. MBr B. MBr\(_2\) C. MBr\(_4\) D. M\(_2\)Br
Solution:
\[
n_{\text{AgNO}_3} = \frac{0.2 \times 20}{1000} = 0.004
\]
\[
\text{Moles in 300 cm}^3 = 0.004 \times \frac{300}{15} = 0.08
\]
\[
\text{Original sample} = 0.04\ \text{mol}
\]
\[
\text{Ratio of Ag to sample} = \frac{0.08}{0.04} = 2
\]
\[
\text{1 M gives 2 Br}^- \Rightarrow \text{MBr}_2
\]
Answer: B. MBr\(_2\)
13. A saturated solution of ammonium nitrate at \( t_1^\circ \text{C} \) is cooled to \( t_2^\circ \text{C} \). What changes will occur?

Solution:
\[
\text{MgCl}_2 \rightarrow \text{Mg}^{2+} + 2\ \text{Cl}^-
\]
\[
1\ \text{mol MgCl}_2 \Rightarrow 2\ \text{mol Cl}^-
\]
\[
\text{Mass of solvent} = 0.5\ \text{kg}
\]
\[
\text{Molality} = \frac{2}{0.5} = 4
\]
Answer: D. 4

B. The higher the boiling point, the lower the freezing point
C. Solutions with the same molality have the same boiling point
D. The vapour pressure of a solution is lower than that of pure water
Solution:
Lower vapour pressure → higher boiling point, not lower
So A is incorrect
Answer: A. The lower the vapour pressure, the lower the boiling point
16. When 150 g of saturated potassium nitrate solution is cooled from 70 °C to 10 °C, how many grams of potassium nitrate will crystallize out?
(Solubility of potassium nitrate solution: 138 g/100 g water at 70 °C; 20.9 g/100 g water at 10 °C)
A. 22.7 B. 51.1 C. 73.8 D. 150
Solution:
At 70 °C, solubility = 138 g/100 g water → total solution = \(138 + 100 = 238\, \text{g}\)
So, 150 g solution contains:
\[
\frac{138}{238} \times 150 = 86.97\, \text{g KNO}_3
\]
Water in solution = \(150 - 86.97 = 63.03\, \text{g}\)
At 10 °C, max solubility in 63.03 g water:
\[
\frac{20.9}{100} \times 63.03 \approx 13.17\, \text{g KNO}_3 \text{ can stay dissolved}
\]
\[
\text{Crystallized KNO}_3 = 86.97 - 13.17 = 73.8\, \text{g}
\]
Answer: C. 73.8
17. 200 g of organic compound X is dissolved in 3 L of water. If 3 L of diethyl ether is used to extract once, how many grams of X dissolve in the ether layer?

A. 75 B. 66.67 C. 100 D. 133.33
Solution:
Let amount in ether be \( x \), in water is \( 200 - x \)
\[
\frac{\frac{x}{3}}{\frac{200 - x}{3}} = \frac{1}{2}
\]
\[
\frac{x}{200 - x} = \frac{1}{2}
\]
\[
2x = 200 - x
\]
\[
3x = 200
\]
\[
x = 66.67
\]
Answer: B. 66.67
18. A solution contains 12 g of compound Y in 100 mL water. Partition coefficient of Y between hexane and water is 5. What is the mass of Y in hexane after one extraction with 100 mL hexane?
A. 0.42 B. 2.4 C. 5 D. 10
Solution:
Let \( x \) = mass in hexane → \( 12 - x \) in water
\[
\frac{\frac{x}{100}}{\frac{12 - x}{100}} = 5
\]
\[
\frac{x}{12 - x} = 5
\]
\[
x = \frac{5}{6} \times 12 = 10
\]
Answer: D. 10
19. 237 g of potash alum \(( \text{K}_2\text{SO}_4 \cdot \text{Al}_2(\text{SO}_4)_3 \cdot 24\text{H}_2\text{O} )\) is dissolved to make 200 mL of solution, what is the minimum volume of 2 mol L\(^{-1}\) barium chloride solution required to precipitate all the sulfate ions present?
A. 920 mL B. 500 mL C. 375 mL D. 1000 mL
The answer choice D is changed from 125 mL from the original question to 1000 mL. I believe there is a mistake in this question (I double checked with other AIs, and they all said the answer is 1000 mL).
Solution:
Molar mass of potash alum = 474 g mol⁻¹
\[
\text{Moles of alum} = \frac{237}{474} = 0.5\, \text{mol}
\]
Each mole of alum provides 4 moles of \( \text{SO}_4^{2-} \):
1 from \( \text{K}_2\text{SO}_4 \)
3 from \( \text{Al}_2(\text{SO}_4)_3 \)
\[
\text{Total moles of } \text{SO}_4^{2-} = 0.5 \times 4 = 2.0
\]
BaCl\(_2\) reacts with sulfate ions in a 1:1 ratio:
\[
\text{Moles of BaCl}_2 \text{ required} = 2.0
\]
\[
V = \frac{2.0}{2} = 1.0\, \text{L} = 1000\, \text{mL}
\]
Answer: D. 1000 mL

(Freezing point of benzene = 5.5 °C, \( K_f = 5.12\,^\circ\text{C}\,\text{kg mol}^{-1} \))
A. 0.47 B. 2.33 C. 3.17 D. 5.03
Solution:
\[
n_{\text{diphenyl}} = \frac{5}{154} \approx 0.0325
\]
\[
n_{\text{naphthalene}} = \frac{7.5}{128} \approx 0.0586
\]
Total mol = 0.0911
\[
\text{Molality} = \frac{0.0911}{0.200} = 0.4555
\]
\[
\Delta T_f = 5.12 \times 0.4555 \approx 2.33
\]
\[
T_f = 5.5 - 2.33 = 3.17
\]
Answer: C. 3.17

(Molar mass of NaClO = 74.5 g/mol)
A. 0.755 B. 1.02 C. 1.32 D. 2.32
Solution:
\[
\text{Mass of solution} = 1000 \times 1.29 = 1290\, \text{g}
\]
\[
\text{Mass of NaClO} = 1290 \times \frac{7.65}{100} = 98.685
\]

A. 0.1 mol/L
B. 0.2 mol/L
C. 0.4 mol/L
D. 0.8 mol/L
Solution:
\[
n_{\text{AgCl}} = \frac{3}{143.5} \approx 0.0209
\]
\[
n_{\text{MgCl}_2} = \frac{0.0209}{2} = 0.01045
\]
\[
\text{Concentration} = \frac{0.01045}{0.050} = 0.209
\]

n = 0.8\, \text{mol}
\]
\[
m = 0.8 \times 250 = 200\, \text{g}
\]
Proper method: dissolve in less water first, then dilute to 1 L.
Answer: C. Dissolve 200 g in appropriate amount of water, then dilute to 1 L

A. 35.54 g/100 g H\(_2\)O
B. 62.10 g/100 g H\(_2\)O
C. 100.64 g/100 g H\(_2\)O
D. 131.1 g/100 g H\(_2\)O
Solution:
\[
\text{Final solute mass} = 500 - 66 = 434\, \text{g solution}
\]
\[
\text{15% solute} = 0.15 \times 434 \approx 65.1\, \text{g}
\]
\[
\text{Water} = 434 - 65.1 = 368.9\, \text{g}
\]
\[
\text{Initial solute} = 65.1 + 66 = 131.1\, \text{g}
\]
\[
\text{Solubility} = \frac{131.1}{368.9} \times 100 \approx 35.54
\]
Answer: A. 35.54 g/100 g H\(_2\)O
26. If urea forms an ideal solution at 25 °C, what is the vapour pressure of a 25% by mass urea solution?

B. 2.95 kPa
C. 2.88 kPa
D. 2.38 kPa
Solution:
Assume 100 g solution → 25 g urea, 75 g water
\[
n_{\text{urea}} = \frac{25}{60} = 0.4167
\]
\[
n_{\text{water}} = \frac{75}{18} = 4.167
\]
\[
\text{Mole fraction of water} = \frac{4.167}{0.4167 + 4.167} = 0.909
\]
P = 3.17 \times 0.909 \approx 2.88
\]
Answer: C. 2.88 kPa

\]
\[2x = 200 - x
\]
\[3x = 200
\]
\[x = 66.67
\]
\[
\text{Remaining} = 200 - 66.67 = 133.33
\]
Answer: D. 133.33 g

A. 2 B. 6 C. 7 D. 12 g
Solution:
Let \( x \) = amount of solute extracted into ether.
Then \( 14 - x \) remains in water.
Partition coefficient \( K = \frac{[S]_{\text{ether}}}{[S]_{\text{water}}} = \frac{\frac{x}{40}}{\frac{14 - x}{240}} = 6 \)
\[
\frac{\frac{x}{40}}{\frac{14 - x}{240}} = 6
\]
\[
\frac{x \cdot 240}{40(14 - x)} = 6
\]
\[
\frac{6x}{14 - x} = 6
\]
\[
\frac{x}{14 - x} = 1
\]
\[
x = 7
\]
