What is a solution?

100

This is the chemical formula for table salt.

100

Name one unit we use to measure concentration.

Examples include: percentage by mass, parts per million, and molarity.

100

This is what we mean by the term "water gap."

What is the difference between the water resources of an area and the water that is used by local people?

100

This is the year MFS was founded.

Write the chemical formula and name in Spanish for Magnesium chloride.

What is MgCl2, cloruro de magnesio?

200

Calculate the concentration of 34 g NaCl dissolved in 100 g water in:

-Percentage by mass

-Parts per million

Percentage by mass: ( 34 / 100 )* 100 = 34 %

Parts per million: 34 / 100 = x / 1000000

x = 340,000 ppm

When temperature increases, this is what happens to the solubility of gasses.

What is, as temperature increases, LESS gas can be dissolved?

Write the formula and name in English for floruro de hierro (II).

What is: FeF2, Iron (II) fluoride?

300

You want a 250 mL (250 g) aqueous solution of KCl at 22% by mass. How much KCl do you need?

22 / 100 = x / 250

250* 22 = 100*x

x = 5500 / 100 = 55 g KCl

300

This is the word for increasing salt levels in a body of water.

What is salinization?

300

This is the name of the first Costa Rican president.

Name two kinds of pure substances.

What are elements and compounds?

400

Write the formula and name in English and Spanish for two ionic compounds (your choice).

Answers will vary.

400

Is it possible to have a 40% by mass solution of KCl at 50 degrees C? Why or why not?

Yes, this is possible. At 50 degrees C, for every 100 g or water you can have 42 g of solute. This would give a 42% solution by mass when completely saturated. 40% by mass would be unsaturated, which is easy to achieve by mixing less solute into the solvent.

This is an explanation of the process of eutrophication.

Should include these steps:

1. Excess nutrients enter a body of water.

2. Algae grow on the surface of the water due to excess nutrients.

3. Oxygen is depleted due to subaquatic vegetation dying off and oxygen levels decreasing.

Identify the chemical formula and name in English and Spanish for the ionic compound made from Beryllium and Carbon.

What is: Be2C, beryllium carbide, carburo de berilio?

Use this graph to explain how you could prepare a supersaturated solution of KNO3. Include specific mass of KNOand water and the temperatures at each stage of the process.

Answers will vary. Example: Heat 100 g water to 50 degrees C. Add 85 g KNO3 and dissolve fully. Cool the solution down to 40 degrees. It is now supersaturated.
