Example

A strong acid has pH 2. To make its pH 3, how many mL of water must you add to 10 mL of it?

Answer: 90

  1. 1

    Heating 25 g of limestone, CaCO₃ (100.09 g/mol), gives quicklime, CaO (56.08 g/mol), and CO₂. A student collects 12.6 g of CaO. What is the percent yield, to 1 decimal place?

  2. 2

    A patient takes 500 mg of a drug with a half-life of 8 hours. How many mg remain after 12 hours, to 1 decimal place?

  3. 3

    A tyre's absolute air pressure is 320 kPa at 20 °C. Assuming its volume stays the same, what is the pressure at 0 °C, to the nearest kPa?

  4. 4

    A tyre's absolute air pressure is 320 kPa at 20 °C. Assuming its volume stays the same, what is the pressure at 35 °C, to the nearest kPa?

  5. 5

    Heating 10 g of limestone, CaCO₃ (100.09 g/mol), gives quicklime, CaO (56.08 g/mol), and CO₂. A student collects 4.4 g of CaO. What is the percent yield, to 1 decimal place?

  6. 6

    2 g of hydrogen (2.016 g/mol) reacts with 16 g of oxygen (32.00 g/mol): 2 H₂ + O₂ → 2 H₂O. What is the greatest mass of water (18.02 g/mol) that can form, in grams to 1 decimal place?

  7. 7

    A strong acid has pH 3. To make its pH 4, how many mL of water must you add to 50 mL of it?

  8. 8

    Petrol is mostly octane, C₈H₁₈ (114.23 g/mol), with density 0.70 kg/L. It burns as 2 C₈H₁₈ + 25 O₂ → 16 CO₂ + 18 H₂O. How many kg of CO₂ (44.01 g/mol) does a 60 L tank produce? Give 1 decimal place.

  9. 9

    Car airbags inflate when sodium azide decomposes: 2 NaN3 → 2 Na + 3 N2. How many grams of sodium azide (65.01 g/mol) are needed to make 60 L of nitrogen at STP (22.4 L/mol)? Give 1 decimal place.

  10. 10

    Heating 20 g of limestone, CaCO₃ (100.09 g/mol), gives quicklime, CaO (56.08 g/mol), and CO₂. A student collects 8.3 g of CaO. What is the percent yield, to 1 decimal place?

  11. 11

    A tyre's absolute air pressure is 300 kPa at 20 °C. Assuming its volume stays the same, what is the pressure at 50 °C, to the nearest kPa?

  12. 12

    A strong acid has pH 2. To make its pH 4, how many mL of water must you add to 50 mL of it?
