IV. Procedure:
A. Readings
i. Review
 Concentration of a solution is the quantity of solute that is
dissolved in a certain quantity of the solvent.
 It can be expressed qualitatively and quantitatively.
ii. Key Points
QUALITATIVE EXPRESSIONS OF CONCENTRATION

1. Mass Percentage (w/w)

When we express the concentration of a solution as the
percent of one component in the solution, we call it the mass
percentage (w/w). Suppose, we have a solution containing
component A as the solute and B as the solvent, then its mass
percentage is expressed as:

Mass % of A = Mass of component A in the solution/Total

mass of the solution×100

10% solution of sugar by mass means that 10 grams of sugar

is present in 100 grams of the solution, i.e., 10 grams of sugar
has been dissolved in 90 grams of water.

2. Volume percentage (V/V)

Sometimes, 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 in the solution/Total
volume of the solution×100

For example, if a solution of NaCl in water is said to be 10 %

by volume that means a 100 ml solution will contain 10 ml
NaCl.

3. Mass by Volume Percentage (w/V)

This unit is majorly used in pharmaceutical industry. It is the
mass of a solute dissolved per 100 mL of the solution.

4. Molarity (M)
One of the most commonly used methods for expressing the
concentrations is molarity. It is the number of moles of solute
dissolved in one litre of a solution. Thus, if one gram molecule
of a solute is present in 1 litre of the solution, the
concentration of the solution is said to be one molar. Unit of
molarity: mol L-1

Suppose a solution of ethanol is labelled as 0.25 M. By this,

we mean that in one litre of the given solution 0.25 moles of
ethanol is dissolved.
5. Molality (m)
Molality represents the concentration regarding moles of
solute and the mass of solvent. It is given by moles of solute
dissolved per kg of the solvent. The molality formula is given
as:

Molality(m) = Moles of solute/Mass of solvent in kg

6. Mole Fraction
If the solution has a solvent and a solute, mole fraction gives a
concentration as the ratio of moles of one component to the
total moles present in the solution. It is denoted by x.
