Solution ConcentrationSolution Concentration is the measure of how much solute is dissolved in a specific amount of solvent.

Solutions can be described qualitatively using words concentrated and dilute. -A concentrated solution would have a lot of solute compared to the

amount of solvent.

-A dilute solution would have very little solute compared to the amount of solvent.

Expressing Concentration Concentration can be expressed in many different ways. Three that we

will use are percent by mass, percent by volume and molarity. Percent by mass and volume both use the familiar phrase “part over whole times a hundred” to obtain the answer.

Concentration is expressed as a percent in a ratio of measured amount of solute to a measured amount of solution.

- Percent by mass = solid dissolved in a liquid- Ratio of solute’s mass to the solution’s mass- Mass of solution = masses of solute + mass of solvent

Percent by mass = mass of solute x 100 mass of solution

Molarity takes into account the number of particles (atoms and molecules) present in the solution.

Diluting Solutions

In the laboratory, I purchase concentrated stock solutions of chemicals because they are much more economical to buy. To use these solutions I have to dilute them to concentrations that are required by the labs we perform in class. To properly dilute these solutions I use the following equation:

M1V1 = M2V2

MolarityWhen chemists are working with a reaction in an aqueous solution, they must know the number of particles (atoms, molecules) that are present. Since we count the number of particles present using moles, then the number of moles of solute dissolved per liter of solution is referred to as MOLARITY (M) or molar concentration, The unit M is read as molar and a liter of solution containing one mole of solute as a 1M sollution.

To calculate the molarity of a solution, we utilize the following formula:

Molarity = moles of solute liters of solution

Molarity Practice

What are the following relationships:

58 g NaCl in 1L = 1 Molar Solution

116g NaCl in 1L = _____ Molar Solution

58 g NaCl in .5L = _____ Molar Solution

116 g NaCl in _____ L = 2 Molar Solution

_____ g NaCl in 1 L = 1 Molar Solution

_____ g NaCl in 1 L = .5 Molar Solution

29 g NaCl in _____ L = 1 Molar Solution
