Chemistry 20 - Chapter 5Solutions 5.3 Concentration of a Solution
Concentration • is defined as the quantity of solute per volume of solution • quantity of solute can be communicated as a mass, as a quantity in moles, or sometimes as a volume • many ways of communicating concentration
Concentrations using mass • ppm (parts per million or 1 drop in a full bathtub) = mg/L • ppb (parts per billion or 1 drop in a full swimming pool) = mg/kL • %W/V = g/100 mL • mass per litre = g/L
Concentrations using moles • molar concentration = mol/L • this is by far the most common way of expressing concentration of solutions in chemistry courses
Concentrations using volumes • % by volume = mL of solute per 100 mL of solution • eg. 5% acetic acid (by volume) means that there are 5 mL of acetic acid for every 100 mL of solution • can also be measured in L of solute/100L of solution
Calculations • for concentrations using mass use: C=m/v • for molar concentrations use: C=n/v • for concentrations using volume use: C=v(solute)/v(solution)
Dilution • the process of decreasing the concentration of a solution by adding more solvent. • eg. making orange juice from frozen concentrate • during a dilution the volume increases and the concentration decreases
Dilution Problems • four variables: C1, v1, C2, v2 • use the formula: C1v1=C2v2
Example What volume of concentrated hydrochloric acid is required to prepare 1.0 L of 6.0 mol/L HCl(aq)?
Example What volume of concentrated hydrochloric acid is required to prepare 1.0 L of 6.0 mol/L HCl(aq)? C1=11.6 mol/L (from data sheet) v1 = ??? C2 = 6.0 mol/L v2= 1.0 L
Concentration of Ions • to calculate the concentration of an ion: • first write a dissociation equation • set up a ratio between the coefficient of the reactant and the concentration of the reactant and the coefficient of the cation and the conc. of the anion
Example Calculate the concentration of the cations and anions in a 0.25 mol/L solution of Na3PO4(aq).
Example Na3PO4(aq) ---> 3Na+(aq) + PO4-3(aq) 0.25 mol/L 0.75 mol/L 0.25 mol/L
Communicating H+ ion Conc. • acids turn blue litmus red • acids have low pH’s (below 7) • bases turn red litmus blue • bases have high pH’s (above 7) • a pH of 7 is neutral • pH = -log [H+] • eg. pH 7 = 1.00x10-7 mol/L
