Concentration

• 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
• Concentration


  The mass of a solute in a given volume of solution
• Rearranging concentration equation


  1. Calculate mass given volume and concentration

  2. Calculate volume given mass and concentration
• Solute


  A chemical which is dissolved in a solvent
• Increasing mass of solute, keeping volume same


  Increases concentration
• Unit of concentration


  Grams per decimeter cubed
• Increasing volume of solution, keeping mass same

  Decreases concentration
