Study Notes
Concentration Terms
- The term that refers to the amount of solute present in a given amount of solution is concentration.
Calculating Concentration
- If a student mistakenly uses volume instead of mass while calculating the mass percent, they may get a similar value to the incorrectly calculated mass percent using the concentration term of volume percentage.
Mole-Based Concentration
- The concentration term that involves expressing concentration in terms of moles of solute per kilogram of solvent is molality.
Molarity
- A solution with a molarity of 2 M and a volume of 0.5 L contains 1 mole of solute (moles = molarity x volume in liters).
Molality Calculation
- The molality of a solution that contains 20 g of NaCl dissolved in 200 g of water can be calculated by dividing the number of moles of NaCl by the mass of solvent in kg (molality = moles of solute / mass of solvent in kg).
Mole Fraction Calculation
- The mole fraction of ethylene glycol (C2H6O2) in a solution made by mixing 30 g of ethylene glycol with 70 g of water can be calculated by first finding the number of moles of each component, then dividing the number of moles of ethylene glycol by the total number of moles.
Test your knowledge on concentration terms in solutions with this set of multiple-choice questions. Identify the term related to the amount of solute in a solution, understand the alternative concentration term for mistakenly calculated mass percent, and learn about expressing concentration in moles of solute per kilogram of solvent.
