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.
