Concentration of solutions Flashcards
Concentration of a solution definition
measure of the quality of a substance that is dissolved in a given volume
Calculating solution equation
solution = solute + solvent
Solute definition
quantity of a substance
Solvent definition
given volume
Increasing mass of solute in a solvent…
increases its concentration
Calculating concentration equation
mass of solute/volume of solvent
cm3 to dm3
/1000
units for concentration of a solution
g/dm3
How do you make a solution
solute (solid) dissolved in a solvent (liquid)
Uncertainty definition
the quantity by which a given result may differ from its true value
Why do uncertainties exist
errors in measuring (random errors), errors in the experimental procedure (systematic errors)
Uncertainty equation
Range divided by 2
