2. Concentration
definition: the measure of how much solute is dissolved in a specific amount of solvent
can be dilute to concentrated
can use specific numerical quantities to measure concentration
% by mass
% by volume
dilutions
molarity

5. What is the solution concentration by mass of 12 grams of NaCl dissolved in 300 grams of water? (3.8%)
6. If you need to produce 500 grams of an 8.3% saline solution, how many grams of salt and how many grams of water would you use to form the solution? (41.5 g of salt, g H2O)

13. Diluting Solutions
Concentrated stock solutions of chemicals are purchased in the laboratory because they are much more economical to buy
These solutions are diluted to desired concentrations that are required by the labs we perform in class
To properly dilute solutions we use the following equation:
Where ‘M’ = Molarity
Where ‘V’ = Volume

14. Diluting Solutions Examples
1. What volume of a 3M KI solution would you use to make .3 L of a 1.25M KI solution? 2. How many milliliters of a 5M H2SO4 solution would you need to prepare 100 mL of .25 M H2SO4? 3. If you dilute 20 mL of a 3.5M solution to make 100 mL of solution, what is the molarity of the dilute solution? 125 mL, 5 mL, .7M

15. Molarity
concentration expressed as the number of moles of solute per liter of solution
use M, molar
ex M solution is a 2.5 molar solution
Conversion reminder: to convert mL to L, must divide by (1000 mL = 1 L)
