HOW DO WE KNOW

THE ACCURATE
AMOUNT OF SOLUTE
IN SOLVENT?
INTENSITY OF COLOR
STRENGHT OF THESMELL
DEGREE OF SWEETNESS
CONCENTRATION OF

CONCENTRATION
OF SOLUTIONS
 CONCENTRATION
The amount of solute relative to
the amount of solution.
Can be described qualitatively or
quantitatively.
Quantitatively
numbers-based, countable, or
measurable.
tells us how many, how much, or
how often in calculations.
Qualitatively
interpretation -based, descriptive,
and relating to language.
help us to understand why, how, or
what happened behind certain
behavior.
The candy was sour.
-QUALITATIVE
The bug was 5 cm long.
-QUANTITATIVE
The flower is red.
-QUALITATIVE
The mass of the beaker was 122 g.

-QUANTITATIVE
My fingernail is 2 cm long.

-QUANTITATIVE
The slug was slimy.
-QUALITATIVE
The laptop is white.
-QUALITATIVE
She is 150 cm tall.
-QUANTITATIVE
His hair is black.
-QUALITATIVE
You have 3 sisters.
-QUANTITATIVE
 DILUTE
A dilute solution has a small
amount of solute in a large
amount of solvent.
Example: Salt solution, light colour
tea
CONCENTRATED
A concentrated solution has large
amounts of solute in the given
solvent.
Example: Brine solution, orange
juice, dark colour tea
 CONCENTRATION OF
SOLUTION CAN BE EXPRESSED
IN
PERCENT BY MASS PERCENT BY VOLUME
- IS THE AMOUNT OF - IS THE AMOUNT OF
SOLUTE IN A GIVEN MASS SOLUTE IN A GIVEN
OF SOLUTION. VOLUME OF SOLUTION.

% m/m= mass solute x 100 % v/v= volume solute x 100

mass solution volume solution
 PERCENT BY WEIGHT

What is the % w/w of a solution if 3.00 grams of

NaCl are dissolved in 17.00 g of water?
- mass of solute = 3.00 g
- mass of solution = 3.00 g t 17.00 g = 20.00 g
- ( 3.00 g / 20. 00 g) x 100% = 15.0% w/w
 PERCENT BY VOLUME

What is the % v/v of a solution if 20.0 mL of

alcohol are dissolved in 50.0 mL of solution?
- volume of solute = 20.0 mL
- volume of solution = 50.0 mL
- ( 20.0 mL / 50.0 mL) x 100% = 40.0% v/v
