Solution: A homogeneous mixture. It appears to only be one substance.
Solute: The substance that is being dissolved.
Solvent: The substance that does the dissolving (usually water).

5. Concentration
Concentration is a measurement of how much solute there is in a given amount of solution.

34. Concentration Warmup Workbook p. 31 #1-3
Identify the different values and list them (including the units).
Is everything in g and L? If so, carry on. If not, convert them to g and L.
Decide on which formula you need using the triangle. Again, include your units!!
Calculate the missing value… show your units again!

35. Interesting question that would never appear on a test…

36. Which of the following is/are toxic?

38. A new measurement for concentration
If we want to measure very small concentrations, we tend to use a different unit called parts per million (ppm). It’s the number of parts of solute per million parts of solution.

39. Calculating ppm
The procedure for calculating ppm is the same as g/L, but you need to have a concentration in:
mg / L
