This test covers materials in the textbook in Chapters 15 (pp. 500-529). You are always responsible for the topics on the
previous tests.
Test Expectations
The student should be able:

 Use the basic vocabulary of solutions
 Describe how a solution of an ionic solid in a polar solvent forms
 Calculate concentrations in units of mass percent, molarity, molality, and mole fraction

calculate molalities, changes in freezing or boiling points, and molar masses for both
electrolytes and nonelectrolyte solutes in nonvolatile solvents
 Analyze the factors affecting solubility, including temperature, pressure, and nature of the
solvent (“likes dissolves like”)
