E.g.:
A 5% v/v solution means 5ml of solute is dissolved in 100ml of
solution.
A 12% v/v wine is one that is prepared by mixing 12ml of alcohol
(solute) in 100ml of solution (wine). But note that, a 12% v/v
wine may not be prepared by mixing 12ml of alcohol with 88ml
of wine since volumes of liquids are not always additive.

E.g.: Describe how you would prepare the following three solutions:
(a) 500 mL of approximately 0.20 M NaOH using solid NaOH;
(b) 1 L of 150.0 ppm Cu2+ using Cu metal; and
(c) 2 L of 4% v/v acetic acid using concentrated glacial acetic acid.
Solution
(a). Since the concentration only needs to be known to two
significant figures, the mass of NaOH and volume of solution do
not need to be measured exactly. The desired mass of NaOH is:
Given: VD = 500 ml =0.5L
Molarity = 0.2 M = 0.2 mol/L
Molar mass = 40g/mol
Grams of solute to measure = 0.5 L x0.2 mol/L x 40g/mol = 4gm.
Therefore; to prepare the solution we place 4.0 g of NaOH, in a
bottle or beaker and add approximately 500 mL of water. 20

(b). Since the concentration of Cu2+ needs to be exact, the mass of Cu
metal and the final solution volume must be measured exactly. The

Solution:
= 120gm of acetic acid can
be used but acetic acid is liquid, hence we have to calculate
volume that will be taken from its density.
i.e. density = mass of acetic acid/volume the volume = mass/density
= 120gm/1.049g/mL =114ml of acetic acid will be taken.

• This implies density of substance in a solution is 1.84g/ml; on the
other hand mass of the solution is 1.84 gm in 1ml. However,
molarity is expressed in mol/L. hence; the mass of solution in 1L of
solution is 1.84X103. Then,

4.4. Activity and Activity Coefficients
It has been already pointed out that the effective concentration
of ionized ions is less than the actual concentration.
The decrease in effective concentration is due to the interionic
attraction.
The factor that is used to convert actual concentration to
effective concentration (activity) is called activity coefficient.
The actual concentration is the stoichiometric concentration and
the factor accounts for interionic interaction of electrolytic
solution.
If the actual concentration is C, the effective concentration is a,
and activity coefficient is f, the mathematical relationship among
the three factors is given by:
Activity = Concentration x Activity coefficient or a = fC

The ionic strength of a solution ( ) is defined as half the sum of
the products of the concentration of all the ions present in
solution by the square of the charge of the given ion:
Where :
Ci is the molar concentration of the ion and
Zi is the charge on the ion.
For a solution that contains two or more components that don’t
interact the ionic strength is given by :
μ= ½ (C1Z12 + C2Z22+ C3Z32 + … + Cn Zn2)
Where: C1, C2, …, Cn stands for the concentrations of ion 1, 2, 3,…, n
present in the solution and Zn is their respective charges.

1) Calculate the ionic strength of 0.1 M solution of NaCl.
Solution: NaCl is a strong electrolyte that dissociates almost
completely. Hence, the concentrations of sodium and chloride
ions in solution are approximated to be 0.1 M.
Thus, μ = ½ [CNa+Z2Na+ + CCl-Z2Cl-] = ½ [(0.1(+1)2 + (0.1) (-1)2] = 0.1
2) What is the ionic strength of a solution containing in 1 liter 0.01
mol of K2SO4 and 0.01 mol Al2(SO4)3. [Ans. µ=0.18]
