(a)
Interpretation:
Whether the statement, “At a given instant, a solution has a definite percentage composition” is true or not is to be stated. If false, the statement is to be re-written.
Concept introduction:
Solution is a homogenous mixture of two or more components. A sample taken from any part of the solution will have the same composition as the rest of the solution. Many
(b)
Interpretation:
Whether the statement, “The physical properties of a solution of A in B are variable” is true or not is to be stated. If false, the statement is to be re-written.
Concept introduction:
Solution is a homogenous mixture of two or more components. A sample taken from any part of the solution will have the same composition as the rest of the solution. Many chemical reactions occur in water solutions.
(c)
Interpretation:
Whether the statement, “A solution is always made up of two pure substances” is true or not is to be stated. If false, the statement is to be re-written.
Concept introduction:
Solution is a homogenous mixture of two or more components. A sample taken from any part of the solution will have the same composition as the rest of the solution. Many chemical reactions occur in water solutions.
(d)
Interpretation:
Whether the statement, “Different parts of a solution can be detected visually” is true or not is to be stated. If false, the statement is to be re-written.
Concept introduction:
Solution is a homogenous mixture of two or more components. A sample taken from any part of the solution will have the same composition as the rest of the solution. Many chemical reactions occur in water solutions.

- A student weighs out a 4.80-g sample of aluminum bromide, transfers it to a 100-mL volumetric flask, adds enough water to dissolve it, and then adds water to the 100-mL mark. What is the molarity of aluminum bromide in the resulting solution?arrow_forwardThe units of parts per million (ppm) and parts per billion (ppb) are commonly used by environmental chemists. In general, 1 ppm means 1 part of solute for every 106 parts of solution. Mathematically, by mass: ppm=gsolutegsolution=mgsolutekgsolution In the case of very dilute aqueous solutions, a concentration of 1.0 ppm is equal to 1.0 g of solute per 1.0 mL, which equals 1.0 g solution. Parts per billion is defined in a similar fashion. Calculate the molarity of each of the following aqueous solutions. a. 5.0 ppb Hg in H2O b. 1.0 ppb CHCl3 in H2O c. 10.0 ppm As in H2O d. 0.10 ppm DDT (C14H9Cl5) in H2Oarrow_forwardWhat is the difference between a solute and a solvent?arrow_forward
- A student was given a 1.6240-g sample of a mixture of sodium nitrate and sodium chloride and was asked to find the percentage of each compound in the mixture. She dissolved the sample and added a solution that contained an excess of silver nitrate. The silver ion precipitated all of the chloride ion in the mixture as silver chloride. It was filtered, dried, and weighed. Its mass was 2.056g. What was the percentage of each compound in the mixture?arrow_forwardA 25-mL sample of 0.50 M NaOH is combined with a 75-mL sample of 0.50 M NaOH. What is the concentration of the resulting NaOH solution?arrow_forward
