    Study Notes

    Percent Concentration

    • Percent concentration quantifies the amount of solute in a solution, often expressed in weight percent (% wt/wt).
    • Weight percent (% wt/wt) indicates grams of solute per 100 grams of solution.

    Percent by Mass

    • Percent by mass formula: 
      % (wt/wt) = (mass of solute / mass of solution) * 100
    • Mass of solution = Mass of solute + Mass of solvent.

    Solution Concentration Description

    • Solutions are categorized as:
      • Dilute: Low solute proportion relative to solvent.
      • Concentrated: High solute proportion relative to solvent.

    Example Calculations

    • To prepare a 10% (wt/wt) NaOH solution weighing 750 grams, determine the mass of solute and solvent based on the percentage formula.
    • Example calculation for sodium nitrate concentration: If 7.5 g is dissolved in 85 ml of water, apply percent by mass formula for concentration.

    Percent by Volume

    • Percent by volume (%) is used when both solute and solvent are liquids, defined as the volume of solute per 100 volumes of solution.
    • Formula for Percent by Volume: 
      % (vol/vol) = (volume of solute / volume of solution) * 100
    • Volume of solution = Volume of solute + Volume of solvent.

    Example Calculations for Volume

    • A rubbing alcohol solution containing 70% (vol/vol) isopropyl alcohol in 600 mL holds a specific volume of isopropyl alcohol calculated via the volume percentage formula.
    • For a 40% (vol/vol) ethylene glycol solution, calculate the volume of ethylene glycol needed to create five liters of solution using the volume formula.

    Weight/Volume Percent

    • Weight/Volume percent formula: 
      % (mass/volume) = (mass of solute / volume of solution) * 100
---

    Example Calculations for Weight/Volume

    • Calculating weight/volume percent: Dissolve 5.0 grams of glucose in enough water to prepare 250 mL of solution.
    • For a 50 mL of 12% by mass-volume solution, find the grams of solute contained using the weight/volume formula.
