Expressing

Concentration of
Solutions
Quantitatively
We express the concentration as a percent of one component in
the solution by volume. In such cases, it is the volume
percentage. It is given as:

Volume % of A = Volume of component A ÷Total Volume

Example:
If a solution of sugar in water is said to be 10% by volume that
means a 100mL solution will contain 10mL sugar.
Expressing concentrations of solutions

Example:
Question #1: What is the volume of a 70% ethyl alcohol
solution in a 250mL bottle to fight COVID-19?

70%= 0.70 x 250mL= 175mL of ethyl alcohol

70%= 0.70
Expression of concentration in other ways:
1) percent by volume, it is defined as the volume of solute
present in 100 mL of solution (% v/v).
Practice Problems
Practice Problems
SITUATION #1: Every morning we drink milk to strengthen
our bones. You prepare a 100mL with a 5% powdered milk
mix solution for your mother. She asks you how many
grams of milk you used for her drinks. What would be your
response to her question?

How many grams of powdered milk did you use to prepare


100mL of a 5% powdered milk mix solution?
Expression of concentration in other ways:

1) percent by mass – it is defined as the amount of solute in


each mass of solvents. It is expressed as grams of solute per
100 grams of solution (% m/m).
1. What is the percent by mass concentration of a solution
that contains 5.30 g of salt dissolved in 19.7 g of water?
Pure gold is referred to as 24 karats. Jewelry
that is said to be 18 karats contains 18g of gold
for every 24g of the material, the remaining 6g
consist of the other metal like copper or silver.
This material has a concentration of 75% gold,
that is, [18/24(100)]. 14 karat (14K) gold
contains 14g gold and 10 g of another metal,
making it 58.3% gold.
Concentration determines by the formula:
concentration = amount of solute ÷ amount of solution
Problem Solving:

1. What is the percent by mass if 8.0g copper is added to


enough zinc to produce 100g an alloy?

2. You have 200g or a solution that contains 30g of


hydrochloric acid (HCl), what percentage of your solution is
made up of HCl acid?

3. Suppose you want to make 2000g of a solution of glucose


in water that has 2.8% (m/m) concentration. How much
glucose should you use?
Solve the following. Show your solution
1. A saline solution with a mass of 355 g has 36.5 g of NaCl dissolved in
it. What is the mass/mass percent concentration of the solution?

2. A dextrose (also called D-glucose, C6H12O6) solution with a mass of


200 g has 15.8 g of dextrose dissolved in it. What is the mass/mass
percent concentration of the solution?
Solve for the percentage of gold and the amount of other
metal:
1. 13K
2. 16 K
3. 5 K
Solve for the percentage of gold and the amount of other
metal:

1. 13K

2. 16 K

3. 5 K
