Percent solutions
Parts per million 1 mg/kg, or 1 mg/L
Parts per million 1 mg/kg, or 1 mg/L
Parts per billion 1 g/billion grams, or 1 g/L
Parts per billion 1 g/billion grams, or 1 g/L
Mole fraction Do you need the mole fraction of the SOLUTE or the SOLVENT? Be careful!
Molarity Recall from chapter 4:
Molarity, M Recall from chapter 4: Volume can change with temperature…so molarity is temperature dependent!
Molality, m
Mass doesn’t depend on temperature— so molality is independent of temperature!
Problems A solution is prepared by dissolving 34.8 g of NaCl in water and bringing the mixture to a final volume of 675 mL. Calculate the molarity.
Problem Calculate the molality of a solution prepared from 43.3 g of glucose dissolved in 832 g of water.
