- Solutions: Volumes and Concentrations
- A solute dissolves in a solvent to give a solution
- Quantities in Solution
- What amount of solute is dissolved? May be given moles or mass (g)
- How much solution is there? Given as a volume
- These two factors combine to make up the concentration
- What amount of solute is dissolved? May be given moles or mass (g)
- These two factors combine to make up the concentration
- The volume of a solution is usually given in cm3 or dm3
- 1dm3 = 1000cm3
- cm3/1000 = dm3
- dm3 x 1000 = cm3
- The concentration of a solution means how much solute is present in a given volume of solution
- Concentration(mol dm-3) = Number of moles of a solute/ Volume of solution (dm3)
- Dilution factor = Final volume/starting volume
