Chemistry P1 - quantities chemistry

• Concentration

  The mass of a solute in a given volume of solution
• Solute

  A chemical which is dissolved in a solvent
• Unit of concentration

  Grams per decimeter cubed
• Calculating concentration

  Mass in grams / Volume in decimeter cubed
• Rearranging concentration equation

  1. Calculate mass given volume and concentration

  2. Calculate volume given mass and concentration
• Increasing mass of solute, keeping volume constant

  Increases concentration
• Increasing volume of solution, keeping mass of solute constant

  Decreases concentration
