The document discusses concentration units used to measure the amount of solute dissolved in a solvent or solution. It defines concentrated and dilute solutions based on the relative amount of solute. It then explains percent by mass and percent by volume as common units used to express the concentration of solutions, providing examples and calculations for determining concentration values.

CONCENTRATION UNITS The concentration of a solution is a measure of the amount of solute that has been dissolved in a given amount of solvent or solution.
Concentrated – the amount of solute is relatively high
Dilute – the amount of solute is relatively low Dilute Concentrat d ed Dilute Concentrat d ed PERCENT BY MASS (% ) The percent by mass is the ratio of the mass of a solute to the mass of the solution, multiplied by 100. A sample of 0.892 g of sodium chloride (NaCl) is dissolved in 54.6 g of water to make a brine solution. What is the percent by mass of sodium chloride in the solution? Solution Given: mass of solute (NaCl) = 0.892 g mass of solvent (H2O) = 54.6 g Unknown: Percent by mass Computation: Adrian dissolved 10.0 g of sugar in 250 mL of water (the volume of a cup of coffee). Calculate the % by mass of sugar in the solution. The density of water is 1.00 Solution Given: mass of solute (sugar) = 10.0 g mass of solvent (water) = 250 mL density of solvent (water) = 1.00 Unknown: % by mass Computation: A sample of benzoic acid solution in soda is 0.50% by mass. What mass of benzoic acid is present in 150 g solution? Solution Given: mass of solution = 150 g % by mass = 0.50% Unknown: mass of solute (benzoic acid) Computation: PERCENT BY VOLUME (% ) Percent by volume is the ratio of volume (mL) of solute (liquid) to volume (mL) of solution, multiplied by 100. Some examples of solutions that can be expressed in percent by volume are white vinegar (made of 6% acetic acid in water) and vodka (a mixture of about 50% ethyl alcohol and water). Normally, the alcohol content of hard liquor is given by the term “proof”, which is defined as twice the percentage by volume of ethanol present. What is the percent by volume of a solution that contains 3.5 mL acetic acid and 100 mL water? Solution Given: volume of solute (acetic acid) = 3.5 mL volume of solvent (water) = 100 mL Unknown: Percent by volume Computation: Seven hundred fifty milliliters (750 mL) of a well-known alcoholic beverage is marked to be 55.0 proof. How many mL of ethanol are present in the alcoholic beverage? Solution Given: volume of solution = 750 mL proof number = 55.0 Unknown: volume of solute (ethanol) Computation:
