Practice Problems Chang, Chapter 4 Reactions in Aqueous Solutions

How to keep things straight when solving quantitative problems: • First identify what you are being asked to find – If it is not clear to you what the problem asks, list down the data or information you are provided with • Connect this with a formula, a definition or a topic you have learned about • Find out if you have all the information you need to use the formula. If not, find other information or other formulas that can be used to supply the missing information • Check out the units. Find conversion factors or equivalences if necessary 1

Typical quantitative problems • Questions based on defined terms – Atomic mass, molar mass – Average atomic mass of an element – Avogadro’s number – Molar volume • Questions based on formulas – Density, volume, mass, moles – % composition – Molarity 2

• Questions based on the Chemical formula • Given the formula, find the amount of one of its components • Given a component in a formula, find the amount • Questions based on the balanced chemical equation (Stoichiometry) 3

Terms that can be used as factors for dimensional analysis • • Unit conversion equivalences Percentages (%) Density Molar mass Molar volume Avogadro’s number Concentration expressions Ratios, mole ratios 4
