Example: If you have 2.0 M HCl in the lab, how do you prepare 100. mL of 0.40 M HCl?
Practice Problems:
1. In the lab, you have a beaker that contains 100. mL of NaCl solution. For each change, determine
whether the volume, molarity, or number (moles) of particles increases, decreases, or stays the same.
a. You dilute the 0.5 M NaCl solution by adding water.
c. You pour more 0.5 M NaCl solution into the beaker of 0.5 M NaCl.
d. You heat the beaker of 0.5 M NaCl solution, causing some water to evaporate.
e. You pour some of the 0.5 M NaCl solution into the sink.
2. The particle diagram for a particular solution of MgCl2(aq) is shown. Draw particle diagrams for other

MgCl2 solutions with the specified changes. Some diagrams will be identical to each other.
3. Molarity is the ratio of ____________ to ____________.
You can use the molarity of a solution to convert from ____________ to ____________.
c. You have 1.5 moles of solid KBr in a graduated cylinder. What volume of distilled water do
you need to make a 0.030-M solution of KBr?
5. You have a graduated cylinder that contains 10.0 mL of 2.0-M NaCl solution, and you want to dilute it
to a smaller concentration.
a. How much water would you have to add to create a solution of 1.0-M NaCl? What total
volume of 1.0 M NaCl solution would you have after you do this?
b. How much water would you need to create a solution of 0.2 M NaCl? What total volume of 0.2
M NaCl solution would you have after you do this?
c. You add 40.0 mL of distilled water to the 10.0 mL of 2.0 M NaCl solution. What is the molarity
of the diluted solution?
