Chapter 14 Solution Concentration Flashcards
Concentration
The concentration of a solution is a measure of how much solute is dissolved in a specific amount of solvent or solution
Percent by mass
The percent by mass is the ratio of the salutes mass to the solutions mass expressed as a percent
Percent by mass formula
Percent by mass = mass of solute/ mass of solution x 100
Percent by volume
- The ratio of the volume of a salute to the volume of the solution expressed as a percent
- usually describe solutions in which both salutes and solvents are liquids
Percent by volume formula
Percent by volume= volume of solute/ volume of solution x 100
Molarity
The number of moles of solute dissolves per liter of solution.
A.k.a. the molar concentration
Molarity formula
Molarity (M) = moles of solute/ liters of solution
Stock solutions
Concentrated Solutions of standard molarity’s
Dilution equation
M1 V1 = M2 V2
M= Molarity
V= volume
M1 V1 = The molarity and volume of the stock solution
M2 V2= The molarity and volume of the dilute solution
Molality
The ratio of the number of moles of solute dissolved in 1 kg of Solvent 
Molality equation
Molality (m) = moles of solute/ kg of solvent
Mole fraction
The ratio of the number of moles of solute or solvent and solution to the total number of moles of solute and solvent
Mole fraction equation
Xa = Na/ Na + Nb
Xb= Nb/ Na+ Nb
Solute
The substance being dissolved in the solvent
