Study Notes

Solution Concentration Measures

Percent by mass (w/w) measures the mass of the solute per unit mass of the solution.
Percent by volume (v/v) measures the volume of the solute per unit volume of the solution.
Mole fraction measures the number of moles of the solute per unit total number of moles in the solution.

Calculating Percent by Mass (w/w)

If 20 grams of sugar are dissolved in 80 grams of water, the percent by mass (w/w) of the sugar is 20g/(20g+80g) x 100% = 20%.
If 25 grams of salt are dissolved in 125 grams of water, the percent by mass (w/w) of the salt is 25g/(25g+125g) x 100% = 16.7%.

Calculating Percent by Volume (v/v)

If 30 milliliters of ethanol are mixed with 70 milliliters of water, the percent by volume (v/v) of ethanol is 30mL/(30mL+70mL) x 100% = 30%.

Other Concentration Measures

Percent by mass (m/m) measures the mass of the solute per unit mass of the solvent.
Percent by mass per volume measures the mass of the solute per unit volume of the solution.
Percent by volume per volume measures the volume of the solute per unit volume of the solution.
Mole fraction measures the ratio of the number of moles of the solute to the total number of moles in the solution.
