Solutions

We have 14 ready-to-use problem sets on the topic of Molarity and Solutions.

These problem sets focus on the use of the concept of concentration (most specifically molarity) in the analysis of situations involving solution formation, dilution, and solution stoichiometry. Problems will range from the very easy plug-and-chug to the more difficult analysis of reactions involving solutions.

Problem Sets

Set MS1: Solubility Curves 1
5 Problems - Medium Difficulty

Use a solubility curve for a variety of solutes dissolving in water at varying temperatures to answer questions pertaining to unsaturated, saturated and supersaturated solutions.

Set MS2: Solubility Curves 2
5 Problems - Medium Difficulty

Use a solubility curve for three fictional solutes dissolving in water at varying temperatures to answer questions pertaining to unsaturated, saturated and supersaturated solutions.

Set MS3: Concentration – Mass Percent
6 Problems - Medium Difficulty

Use mass, moles, volume, and density information about a solute to perform calculations related to the mass percent of that solute in aqueous solutions. 

Set MS4: Concentration – Introduction to Molarity
5 Problems - Very Easy Difficulty

Use the concept of molarity to relate the number of moles of solute, the volume of solution, and the molarity of the solute. Numbers are gentle numbers

Set MS5: Molarity Calculations 1
4 Problems - Easy Difficulty

Relate the mass of solute, the number of moles of solute, and the volume of solution to the molarity of the solution.

Set MS6: Molarity Calculations 2
6 Problems - Medium Difficulty

Use information about mass of solute, the number of moles of solute, and the volume of solution to calculate the molar concentration.

Set MS7: Molarity Calculations 3
6 Problems - Medium Difficulty

Perform calculations relating the mass of solute, the number of moles of solute, the volume of solution, and the molar concentration.

Set MS8: Ion Concentrations 1
6 Problems - Medium Difficulty

Use information about the concentration for an ionic solute to determine the concentration of its dissociated ions in solution. In most cases, the dissociation equation is provided. Includes 6 problems.

Set MS9: Ion Concentrations 2
7 Problems - Medium Difficulty

Use information about the molarity of an ionic solute (e.g., mass of solute, moles of solute, and volume of solution) to determine the concentration of its dissociated ions in solution.

Set MS10: Dilution Problems 1
6 Problems - Easy Difficulty

Analyze a situation involving the dilution of a solution in order to relate the number of moles, the volume and the molarity of the initial and the diluted solution. Most problems are scaffolded.

Set MS11: Dilution Problems 2
6 Problems - Medium Difficulty

Relate the number of moles, the volume and the molarity of the initial and the diluted solutions for a dilution problem. 

Set MS12: Solution Stoichiometry 1
6 Problems - Medium Difficulty

Apply stoichiometric principles to reactions between two aqueous-state reactions to relate the volumes and molarities of the reactants to the mass of product.

Set MS13: Solution Stoichiometry 2
4 Problems - Hard Difficulty

Apply stoichiometric principles to reactions between two aqueous-state reactants to relate the volumes and molarities of the reactants to the mass of product. The net ionic reaction is given. All problems are limiting reactant problems; there is significant scaffolding for each problem. 

Set MS14: Solution Stoichiometry 3
4 Problems - Very Hard Difficulty

Apply stoichiometric principles to reactions between two aqueous-state reactants to relate the volumes and molarities of the reactants to the mass of product. A balanced reaction is not included and there is no scaffolding.
