Mass percentage: denotes the mass of a substance in a mixture as a percentage of the mass of the entire mixture. Commercial concentrated aqueous reagents such as acid and bases are often labeled in concentrations of weight percentage with the specific gravity also listed.
Mass-volume percentage is often used for solutions made from solid reagents. It is the mass of the solute in grams multiplied by one hundred divided by the volume of solution in milliliters.
This is most useful when a liquid — liquid solution is being prepared. This means every mL beer contains 5 mL ethanol ethyl alcohol. Molarity M : denotes the number of moles of a given substance per litre of solution.
For instance: 4. This is often more useful when performing stoichiometric calculations. See molar solution for further information.
Molality m : denotes the number of moles of a given substance per kilogram of solvent. For instance: 2. Volume increases with increase in temperature resulting in decrease in molarity. Molality of a solution is always constant irrespective of the physical conditions like temperature and pressure. Normality N : Normality is a concept related to molarity, usually applied to acid-base solutions and reactions.
Normality is also used for redox reactions. In this case the equivalent is the quantity of oxidizing or reducing agent that can accept or furnish one mole of electrons.
Whereas molarity measures the number of particles per litre of solution, normality measures the number of equivalents per litre of solution. In practice, this simply means one multiplies the molarity of a solution by the valence of the ionic solute.
A bit more complex for redox reactions. Similarly, adding sugar until no more dissolves produces a concentrated sugar solution.
While the concept of concentration is straightforward when a solid solute is dissolved into a liquid solvent, it can be confusing when mixing gases or liquids because it's less clear which substance is the solute and which is the solvent. Absolute alcohol is considered to be a concentrated alcohol solution because it contains a minimum amount of water.
Oxygen gas is more concentrated in air than carbon dioxide gas. The concentration of both gases could be considered versus the total volume of air or with respect to the "solvent" gas, nitrogen.

If the compound is a strong electrolyte, determine the number of each ion contained in one formula unit.
Find the concentration of each species by multiplying the number of each ion by the molarity of the solution. Solution concentrations are typically expressed as molarities and can be prepared by dissolving a known mass of solute in a solvent or diluting a stock solution. The concentration of a substance is the quantity of solute present in a given quantity of solution. Concentrations are usually expressed in terms of molarity , defined as the number of moles of solute in 1 L of solution.
Solutions of known concentration can be prepared either by dissolving a known mass of solute in a solvent and diluting to a desired final volume or by diluting the appropriate volume of a more concentrated solution a stock solution to the desired final volume. Modified by Joshua Halpern Howard University. Learning Objectives To describe the concentrations of solutions quantitatively. Molarity The most common unit of concentration is molarity , which is also the most useful for calculations involving the stoichiometry of reactions in solution.
Answer The Preparation of Solutions To prepare a solution that contains a specified concentration of a substance, it is necessary to dissolve the desired number of moles of solute in enough solvent to give the desired final volume of solution. The solute occupies space in the solution, so less than mL of water are needed to make mL of solution. Given: molarity, volume, and molar mass of solute Asked for: mass of solute Strategy: Calculate the number of moles of glucose contained in the specified volume of solution by multiplying the volume of the solution by its molarity.
Obtain the mass of glucose needed by multiplying the number of moles of the compound by its molar mass. Solution: A We must first calculate the number of moles of glucose contained in mL of a 0. Answer 2. Given: volume and molarity of dilute solution Asked for: volume of stock solution Strategy: Calculate the number of moles of glucose contained in the indicated volume of dilute solution by multiplying the volume of the solution by its molarity.
To determine the volume of stock solution needed, divide the number of moles of glucose by the molarity of the stock solution. Answer 16 mL. Here is a handy conversion calculator for several of these terms. Conversions between the other units require knowing additional information and are therefore more complex.

Consult the Safety Data Sheets for the chemicals you work with so you know that concentrations could be dangerous or lethal.
Always minimize your exposure to chemicals and work within the permissible exposure limits for each substance. Use appropriate administrative and engineering controls to prevent exposures in the first place and personal protective equipment if necessary.
