Solutions and Concentrations Flashcards
solution
a uniform mixture of two or more substances. Includes both solvent and solute
solvent
the substance in a solution that is present in a larger amount. Usually a liquid on DAT
solute
the substance in a solution that is present in a smaller amount
unsaturated
less than the maximum amount of a solute is dissolved in a solvent
saturated
the maximum amount of a solute is dissolved in a solvent
Molarity(M)= _____/____
Molarity (M)= moles of solute/ Lsolution
Molality (m)=____/____
Molality(m)= moles of solute/ kg of solvent
concentration can be expressed in two different ways
molality and molarity
What is Molarity useful for determining?
determining a solution’s concentration
difference between Molarity and Molality
Molarity divided by L of solution and Molality divided by kg of solvent
