Study Notes

Concentration

  • Measures the amount of solute present in a given amount of solution
  • Expressed in units of mass per unit volume (e.g. grams per liter, g/L)
  • Types of concentration:
    • Mass concentration: mass of solute per unit volume of solution (e.g. g/L)
    • Molar concentration: number of moles of solute per unit volume of solution (e.g. mol/L)
    • Volume concentration: volume of solute per unit volume of solution (e.g. mL/mL)

Molarity

  • Molar concentration of a solution, expressed in units of moles per liter (mol/L)
  • Denoted by the symbol M
  • Calculated using the formula: M = moles of solute / liters of solution
  • Example: 2 M NaCl solution contains 2 moles of NaCl per liter of solution

Percent Solution

  • Expresses the concentration of a solution as a percentage of the solute by mass or by volume
  • Calculated using the formula: % = (mass of solute / mass of solution) x 100
  • Example: 10% NaCl solution by mass contains 10 grams of NaCl per 100 grams of solution

Normality

  • Measures the number of equivalents of solute per liter of solution
  • Denoted by the symbol N
  • Equivalents are defined as the number of moles of solute reacting with one mole of another substance
  • Normality is related to molarity by the formula: N = M x number of equivalents per mole
  • Example: 1 N HCl solution contains 1 equivalent of HCl per liter of solution, which is equivalent to 1 mole of HCl per liter of solution

Concentration

  • Concentration measures the amount of solute present in a given amount of solution
  • Unit of measurement: mass per unit volume (e.g. grams per liter, g/L)
  • Three types of concentration:
    • Mass concentration: mass of solute per unit volume of solution (e.g.g/L)
    • Molar concentration: number of moles of solute per unit volume of solution (e.g.mol/L)
    • Volume concentration: volume of solute per unit volume of solution (e.g.mL/mL)

Molarity

  • The molar concentration of a solution, expressed in units of moles per liter (mol/L)
  • Denoted by the symbol M
  • Formula to calculate molarity: M = moles of solute / liters of solution
  • Example: 2 M NaCl solution contains 2 moles of NaCl per liter of solution

Percent Solution

  • Expresses concentration as a percentage of the solute by mass or by volume
  • Formula to calculate percent solution: % = (mass of solute / mass of solution) x 100
  • Example: 10% NaCl solution by mass contains 10 grams of NaCl per 100 grams of solution

Normality

  • Measures the number of equivalents of solute per liter of solution
  • Denoted by the symbol N
  • One equivalent is the number of moles of solute reacting with one mole of another substance
  • Formula to calculate normality: N = M x number of equivalents per mole
  • Example: 1 N HCl solution contains 1 equivalent of HCl per liter of solution, which is equivalent to 1 mole of HCl per liter of solution
