2 The concentration of a solution Is the amount of solute dissolved in a specific amount of solution. amount of solute amount of solution As percent concentration describes the amount of solute that is dissolved in 100 parts of solution. amount of solute 100 parts solution Percent Concentration

3 The mass percent (%m/m) Concentration is the percent by mass of solute in a solution. mass percent (%m/m) = g of solute x 100 g of solute + g of solvent Is the g of solute in 100 g of solution. mass percent = g of solute x g of solution Mass Percent

5 Mass percent (%m/m) is calculated from the grams of solute (g KCl) and the grams of solution (g KCl solution). g of KCl = 8.00 g g of solvent (water) = g g of KCl solution = g 8.00 g KCl (solute) x 100 = 16.0% (m/m) g KCl solution Calculating Mass Percent

6 A solution is prepared by mixing 15.0 g Na 2 CO 3 and 235 g of H 2 O. Calculate the mass percent (%m/m) of the solution. 1) 15.0% (m/m) Na 2 CO 3 2) 6.38% (m/m) Na 2 CO 3 3) 6.00% (m/m) Na 2 CO 3 Learning Check

7 3) 6.00% (m/m) Na 2 CO 3 mass solute = 15.0 g Na 2 CO 3 mass solution= 15.0 g g = 250. g mass %(m/m) = 15.0 g Na 2 CO 3 x g solution = 6.00% Na 2 CO 3 solution Solution

8 The volume percent (%v/v) is Percent volume (mL) of solute (liquid) to volume (mL) of solution. volume % (v/v) = mL of solute x 100 mL of solution Solute (mL) in 100 mL of solution. volume % (v/v) = mL of solute 100 mL of solution Volume Percent
