  • dilute solution
20
Q

has a very small amount of solute in a large quantity of solvent

A

dilute solution

21
Q

concentration in which solute is present in large quantity

A

concentrated solution

22
Q

means twice the alcohol (ethanol) content by volume

23
Q

refers to the amount of solute present in a given amount of solution

A

concentration of a solution

24
Q

the amount of solute can be represented by its _____ or _____

A
  • mass
  • volume
25
Q

the relative amount of solute and solvent present in a solution can be represented by different methods of _______

A

expression

26
Q

formula of percent composition by mass

A

percent by mass = (mass of solute/mass of solution) x 100

27
Q

used when preparing solutions of liquids

A

volume percent or volume/volume percent (v/v%)

28
Q

formula of volume percent

A

v/v% = [(volume of solute)/(volume of solution)] x 100%

29
Q

volume percent is relative to ____

A

volume of solution

30
Q

______ are not necessarily additive because the two substances mix to create less than the additive volume

31
Q

the ____ is often a lower volume than the sum of the separate parts

32
Q

number of moles of the solute per liter of solution

33
Q

Molarity is used to express the number of ____ of solute in exactly one liter of a solution

34
Q

Molarity formula

A

Molarity = moles of solute / volume of solution in liters

35
Q

similar to Molarity but uses mass (kg) of the solvent rather than the volume of solution

36
Q

molality formula

A

molality = moles of solute / kg of solvent
