concentration of solution Flashcards
a homogenous mixture formed by dissolving one or more solute present in solvent
solution
minor component and active ingredient
solute
major component of the solution
solvent
contains the maximum amount of solute that
dissolves in a solvent, no more solute dissolves
saturated solution
more solute dissolves
unsaturated
no solute dissolves, crystals may form
supersaturated
a ratio comparing the amount of solute to the amount of solution
concentration
the ratio between the mass and the amount of substance (in mol) of any sample of the compound
molar mass
unit of concentration expressed as the number of moles of
dissolved solute per liter of solution
molarity
number of total moles of a solute contained in a kilogram of a solvent
molality
a measure of concentration equal to the gram equivalent weight per liter of solution
normality
frequently express concentrations in terms of percent (parts per hundred)
percent concentration
a unit used to describe very small concentrations of a substance in a larger solution
parts per million
the process of reducing the concentration of a solute in a solution by simply adding more solvent to the solution, such as water
dilution
measure of the acidity or alkalinity (basicity) of a solution
pH
