Test 4: Solutions Lecture 2 Flashcards
Miscible solution
mixtures in any proportion that will dissolve to make a solution
Saturated solution
only a maximum amount of solute will dissolve in solution before the rest will start to precipitate out
In this chapter, we will study what units of concentration? (4)
molarity concentration per L, percent concentration, pp & ppb, dilutions.
(M) stands for
Moles of Solute / Liters of Solution not to be confused with shorthand mol for moles
(M) is used when working with
moles in a concentration
Percent concentration is often used when solutions are relatively
concentrated
Mathematical expression of percent concentration
(w/w), (w/v), or (v/v) multiplied by 100 to give us a percentage. In these cases, w is weight and v is volume.
where both weight and volume are used, comparable units are __ because water has a density of __.
grams and mL; 1 g/mL
ppm and ppb
“parts per million” and “parts per billion”,
ppm and ppb both refer to a ‘part’ as a unit of
mass (g) or volume (mL)
Mathematical expression of ppm
amount of solute (g)/
amount of solution (g) * 1*10^6 = ppm concentration of solution
Mathematical expression of ppb
amount of solute (g)/
amount of solution (g) * 1*10^9 = ppb concentration of solution
If we multiply the concentration by the volume of the
solution, the volume dimensions cancel out and we are left with the amount of solute. This is expressed as
C1V1 = C2V2 (C: concentration of solutions , V: volume of solutions
