concentration and dilution Flashcards
is water a solvent or solute?
solvent
is salt a solvent or a solute?
solute
what is concentration of a solution? explain
It is a ratio between the amount of solute and the total quantity of the solution.
A concentrated solution contains a large amount of dissolved solute in relation to the volume of the solution
explain a diluted solution
A diluted solution contains a small amount of dissolved solute in relation to the volume of the solution.
what is the unit of concentration?
g/l
what is the unit of mass of solute
g
what is the unit of volume of a solution?
L
what equation do you use to determine the concentration of a solution in g/L?
c = m/v
what does the percentage show?
It shows the amount of solute per 100 ml of solution.
how do you dilute a solution?
add solvent to the original solution to reduce its concentration.
what formula must you use for dilution problems?
c1v1 = c2v2
