6.3 Molarity Flashcards
Finding the concentrations of substances in mixtures typically expressed as:
Molarity (unit = molar)
Solutions
Homogenous Mixtures
What substance is present in greatest amount of moles?
SOLVENT
What substance is present smallest amount of moles?
SOLUTE
SOLUTE + SOLVENT =
SOLUTION
More solute particles PER volume of solution gives a a more…
CONCENTRATED solution
Fewer solute particles per volume of solution gives a more…
Dilute solution (LESS concentrated)
What are the different ways a solution can be expressed?
Molarity (M) = moles of solute/ liters of solution
Mass Percent = mass of solute/ mass of solution * 100
Parts Per Million (ppm) = mass of solute/ mass of solution * 1 x 10^6 ppm
Molarity is the number of moles of solute in exactly…
1 liter (1L) of the solution.
A higher molarity indicates…
A higher concentration (more moles of solute per volume of solution).
