Study Notes
Concentration in Analytical Chemistry
- In the context of concentration, the majority component is referred to as the solvent, while the minority component is referred to as the solute.
Definition of a Solution
- A solution is a homogeneous mixture composed of two or more substances, where one substance (the solute) is dissolved in another substance (the solvent).
Definition of Molarity
- Molarity is the number of moles of solute per liter of solution, expressed in units of moles per liter (mol/L) or molarity (M).
Unit for Expressing Concentration
- Concentration is typically expressed in units of molarity (M), which represents the number of moles of solute per liter of solution.
Example Calculation: Molarity of AgNO3 Solution
- The molarity of the AgNO3 solution prepared by dissolving 1.26 g AgNO3 in a 250 ml volumetric flask can be calculated as follows:
- First, calculate the number of moles of AgNO3: moles = mass / molar mass = 1.26 g / 169.87 g/mol = 0.0074 mol
- Then, calculate the molarity: molarity = moles / liter = 0.0074 mol / 0.25 L = 0.0296 M or approximately 0.03 M
