1. The sulfur dioxide present in air is responsible for the "acid rain" phenomenon. One can calculate its concentration by titrating against a standard permanganate solution as follows:
5 SO2 + 2 MnO4-1 + 2 H2O → 5 SO4-2 + 2 Mn+2 + 4 H+
How many grams of SO2 are present in a sample if 7.37 mL of a 0.00800 M KMnO4 solution is needed for the titration? Answer 9.45 x 10-3 grams
2. Calculate the molarity of (a) 6.57 g of methanol (CH3OH) in 150. mL of solution and (b) 10.4 g of calcium chloride in 220. mL of solution. Answers (a) 1.37 M (b) 0.426 M
3. Water is added to 25.0 mL of a 0.866 M KNO3 solution until the final volume is exactly 500. mL. What is the concentration of the final solution? Answer 0.0433 M
4. A 1.00 mL solution of a radioactive sample exhibiting 1.00 x 109 counts per minute is placed in a tank containing water, and the tank's water is stirred until the radioactivity is completely distributed. A 1.00 mL sample of the water is then removed and found to exhibit 5.00 x 102 counts per minute. What is the volume of the water in liters? Answer 2000 liters
5. Calculate the volume of 0.150 M HCl needed to completely neutralize 25.00 mL of 0.125 M NaOH. Answer 20.8 mL
