Worksheet                                                                   Name:

 

You have 100 ml of a solution that is 150 ppt in concentration and you need 300 ml for the final volume.   What will the ending concentration be?

 VBegin     X    CBegin        =        VEnd        X      CEnd

 

                                    VBegin     X    CBegin         =                CEnd                

                                                VEnd

 

VBegin = 100 ml

CBegin = 150 ppt

VEnd = 300 ml

 

Multiply 100 x 150 = 15,000

Divide 15,000 / 300 = CEnd

 

CEnd =

 

 

Next you have 80 ml of a solution that is 120 ppt.  You need a solution that is 10 ppt.  you start by pouring 10 ml into a 100 ml graduated cylinder.  How much distilled water will you need to add to get 10 ppt?

 VBegin     X    CBegin        =        VEnd        X      CEnd

 

                                    VBegin     X    CBegin         =                VEnd

                                                                        CEnd

VBegin =

CBegin =

CEnd   =

 

VEnd   =

 

These are easy.

 

Now you have a solution that is 180 ppt and you need to end with exactly 70 ml of a solution that is 35 ppt.  How much of the 180 ppt solution should you start with?

 VBegin     X    CBegin        =        VEnd        X      CEnd

                       

                                                CBegin     =        VEnd        X      CEnd

                                                                                    VBegin

VBegin =

CBegin =

CEnd =
