4.6 Calculations

This document is a student worksheet on calculating concentrations of solutions. It contains questions asking students to: 1) Calculate the mass concentrations in g/dm3 and molar concentrations in mol/dm3 of various solutions. 2) Calculate the amount of solute in moles and grams for given solutions with specified concentrations and volumes. 3) Describe how to make a 250cm3 solution of copper sulfate with a concentration of 0.50 mol/dm3, including the mass of copper sulfate needed and steps. 4) Calculate how much water to add to a given volume of a more concentrated solution to produce a less concentrated solution.

Student follow up
1 A student is investigating the effect of concentration on the colour of a solution
of copper sulfate. She wishes to make up 250 cm3 of a solution of copper
sulfate, CuSO4, with a concentration of 0.50 mol/dm3, that she can dilute.
a State the colour of a solution of copper sulfate. (1 mark)
3
b A solution with a concentration of 0.50 mol/dm contains 0.50 mol of
copper sulfate, CuSO4, per decimetre cubed, dm3, of solution.
Calculate the concentration of this solution in g/dm3. (3 marks)
3
c Describe how the student could make up 250 cm of a solution of copper
sulfate with the desired concentration.
Include the mass of copper sulfate that must be dissolved and details of
the practical steps needed. (4 marks)
