Reading a pipette
Identify each volume to two decimal places
(values tell you how much you have expelled)
4.48 - 4.50
4.86 - 4.87
5.00
V1 = 1 L
M1 = 3 M
M1V1 = 3 mol
V2 = 6 L
M2 = 0.5 M
M2V2 = 3 mol
Practice problems
Q What volume of 0.5 M HCl can be
prepared from 1 L of 12 M HCl?
M1 = 12 mol/L, V1 = 1 L, M2 = 0.5 L
M1V1 = M2V2, M1V1/M2 = V2
V2 = (12 mol/L x 1 L) / (0.5 L) = 24 L
Q 1 L of a 3 M HCl solution is added to 0.5 L
of a 2 M HCl solution. What is the final
concentration of HCl? (hint: first calculate
total number of moles and total number of L)
# mol = (3 mol/L)(1 L) + (2 mol/L)(0.5 L)
= 3 mol + 1 mol = 4 mol Do 1 8 on
handout. Try 6
# L = 1 L + 0.5 L = 1.5 L
two ways
# mol/L = 4 mol / 1.5 L = 2.67 mol/L
Dilution problems (4 - 6)
4. # mol = (2.0 mol/L)(0.4 L) + (3.0 mol/L)(0.6 L)
= 0.8 mol + 1.8 mol = 2.6 mol
# L = 0.4 L + 0.6 L
# mol/L = 2.6 mol / 1 L = 2.6 mol/L
5. # mol = (0.5 mol/L)(3 L) + (0.2 mol/L)(2 L)
= 1.5 mol + 0.4 mol = 1.9 mol
# mol/L = 1.9 mol / 5 L = 0.38 mol/L
6. # mol = (0.5 mol/L)(3 L) + (0 mol/L)(2 L)
= 1.5 mol + 0 mol = 1.5 mol
# mol/L = 1.5 mol / 5 L = 0.3 mol/L
Or, using M1V1 = M2V2,
M1 = 0.5 M, V1 = 3 L, M2 = ?, V2 = 5 L
