  • what is concentration?

    the amount of substance in a certain volume of a solution
  • what is a solute?
    a substance that has been dissolved
  • how do you calculate the concentration of a solution?
    concentration in g/dm3 =concentration\ in\ g/dm^3\ = mass of solute (in grams)volume of solvent (in dm3)\ \frac{mass\ of\ solute\ \left(in\ grams\right)}{volume\ of\ solvent\ \left(in\ dm^3\right)}
  • how do you work out the concentration in mol/dm^3
    concentration in mol/dm3=concentration\ in\ mol/dm^3= number of moles of solute (in mol)volume of solvent (in dm)\ \frac{number\ of\ moles\ of\ solute\ \left(in\ mol\right)}{volume\ of\ solvent\ \left(in\ dm\right)}
  • how do you convert from dm^3 to cm^3
    multiply by 1000
  • how do convert from cm^3 to dm^3
    divide by 1000
