1
Concentration? Not exactly.
2
Concentration Concentration can mean paying careful attention to what you are doing. But it also means how much of something there is in a mixture.
3
Concentration One way to talk about concentration is to use a percentage. The concentration of salt in seawater is about 3.5%. That means one kilogram of seawater contains about 35 grams of salt.
4
Concentration We can also use volume to talk about concentration.
The concentration of acetic acid in vinegar is about 5%. That means in 100mL of vinegar, there are 5mL of acetic acid.
5
Concentration The number of atoms or molecules of a substance can often tell us more than mass or volume. Scientists use moles to tell the number of particles in a mixture.
6
Moles Moles? A mole is a number like a dozen. 1 dozen = 12
1 mole = 6.022x1023 1 mole of a substance is 6.022x1023 atoms or molecules of that substance. 1 mole of a substance has a mass equal to the atomic mass of the substance Moles?
7
Molarity Molarity is the number of moles in one liter of solution.
A solution that contains one mole of solute per liter of solution is 1 Molar (1M). Molarity is the most common measure of concentration in science.
8
Preparing a Solution Measure out the required amount of solute.
Add it to a small amount of water and stir to dissolve. Add water until the desired concentration is reached.
