WEEK 9-11

Question 1

It expresses the concentration of weak solution

Answer 1

RATIO STRENGTH

Question 2

%w/v if the amount of solute (g) is unknown

Answer 2

Amount of solute = %w/v in decimal x amount of solution (mL)

Question 3

%w/v if the amount of solution is unknown

Answer 3

Amount of solution (mL) = amount of solute (g) / %w/v in decimal

Question 4

Percent volume-in-volume (%v/v) formula

Answer 4

Percent volume-in-volume (%v/v) = amount of solute (mL) / amount of solution (mL) x 100

Question 5

%v/v if the amount of solution is unknown

Answer 5

Amount of solution (mL) = amount of solute (mL) / %v/v in decimal

Question 6

Percent weight-in-volume (w/v) formula

Answer 6

Percent weight-in-volume (%w/v) = amount of solute (g) / amount of solution (mL) x 100

Question 7

Percent weight-in-weight (w/w) formula

Answer 7

Percent weight-in-weight (%w/w) = amount of solute (g) / amount of solution (g) x 100

Question 8

Other name for concentration

Answer 8

RATIO STRENGTH

Question 9

%w/v if the amount of solute (g) is unknown

Answer 9

Amount of solute (g) = %w/w expressed in decimal x amount of solution (g)

Question 10

%w/w if the amount of solution is unknown

Answer 10

Amount of solution (g) = amount of solute (g) / %w/v in decimal

Question 11

Question 18

%w/v if the amount of solute (mL) is unknown

Answer 18

Amount of solute (mL) = %v/v expressed in decimal x amount of solution (mL)
