Calculating Concentrations Flashcards
Calculating Concentrations
Concentration
one strength which have known amounts of solute and solvent in a given quantity of solution.
Standard Solution
solutions of relatively low concentration
Dilute or Weak
solutions of relatively high concentration
Concentrated or Strong
Molarity(M)
moles solute / Liter solution
Molality* (m)
moles solute / Kg solvent
Normality (N)
equivalent weight solute/ Liter solution
Mole Fraction(A)
moles solute / total moles solution
% (w/w) =
mass solute / mass solution x 100
% (w/v) =
mass solute / volume solution x 100
% (v/v) =
volume solute / volume solution x 100
- denotes the number of moles of a given substance per liter of solution.
- A capital letter M is used to abbreviate the units of mol/L.
Molarity
Molarity (M) =
moles solute / liters of solution
m of solution =
mol solute / kilograms solvent
- as a proportion of the total number of moles in a solution.
- Mole fractions are dimensionless quantities.
