Concentrations of Solutions • The properties and behavior of solutions often depend not only on the type of solute but also on the concentrationof the solute. • Concentration:the amount of solute dissolved in a given quantity of solvent or solution • many different concentration units • (%, ppm, g/L, etc) • often expressed as molarity
Concentrations of Solutions • Molarity (M):the number of moles of solute per liter of solution • Molarity = moles of solute volume of solution in liters • 6.0 M HCl • 6.0 moles of HCl per liter of solution. • 9.0 M HCl • 9.0 moles of HCl per liter of solution.
Concentration of Solutions • To calculate the molarity of a solution: • Divide amount of solute by volume of solution • convert amount of solute to moles • convert volume to liters • Units of molarity are mol/L (M)
M = 225 g glucose x 1000 mL x 1 mol 825 mL soln 1 L 180.2 g M = 1.51 M glucose Concentration of Solutions Example: What is the molarity of a solution prepared by dissolving 225 g of glucose (C6H12O6) in enough water to make 825 mL of solution?
Concentration of SolutionsInterconverting Molarity, Moles, and Volume • Molarity can be used as a conversion factor. • The definition of molarity contains 3 quantities: Molarity = moles of solute volume of solution in liters • If you know two of these quantities, you can find the third.
Use molarity as a conversion factor Concentration of Solutions Interconverting Molarity, Moles, and Volume Example: How many moles of HCl are present in 2.5 L of 0.10 M HCl? Given: 2.5 L of soln 0.10M HCl Find:mol HCl Mol HCl = 2.5 L soln x 0.10 mol HCl 1 L of soln = 0.25 mol HCl
Use M as a conversion factor Concentration of Solutions Interconverting Molarity, Moles, and Volume Example: What volume of a 0.10 M NaOH solution is needed to provide 0.50 mol of NaOH? Given: 0.50 mol NaOH 0.10 M NaOH Find: vol soln Vol soln = 0.50 mol NaOH x 1 L soln 0.10 mol NaOH = 5.0 L solution
Concentration of Solutions Interconverting Molarity, Moles, and Volume Example: How many grams of NaNO3 are needed to prepare 250.0 mL of 1.00 M NaNO3? Given: 250.0 mL soln 1.00 M NaNO3 Find: g NaNO3 Conversion factors: Molarity, molar mass Strategy: mL L mol grams
Concentration of Solutions Interconverting Molarity, Moles, and Volume g NaNO3 = 250.0 mL soln x 1 L x 1.00 mol 1000 mL 1 L soln x 85.0 g NaNO3 1 mol = 21.25 g NaNO3 = 21.3 g NaNO3
Concentration of Solutions Dilution Calculations • Many laboratory chemicals such as acids are purchased as concentrated solutions (stock solutions). • 12 M HCl • 12 M H2SO4 • More dilute solutions are prepared by taking a certain quantity of the stock solution and diluting it with water.
Concentration of Solutions Dilution Calculations • A given volume of a stock solution contains a specific number of moles of solute. • 25 mL of 6.0 M HCl contains 0.15 mol HCl • If 25 mL of 6.0 M HCl is diluted with 25 mL of water, the number of moles of HCl present does not change. • Still contains 0.15 mol HCl
Concentration of Solutions Dilution Calculations Moles solute = moles solute before dilution after dilution • Although the number of moles of solute does not change, the volume of solution does change. • The concentration of the solution will change since Molarity = mol solute Vol soln
Concentration of Solutions Dilution Calculations • When a solution is diluted, the concentration of the new solution can be found using: Mi x Vi = Mf x Vf where Mi = initial concentration (mol/L) Vi = initial volume Mf = final concentration (mol/L) Vf = final volume
Concentration of Solutions Dilution Calculations Example: What is the concentration of a solution prepared by diluting 25.0 mL of 6.00 M HCl to a total volume of 50.0 mL? Given: Vi = 25.0 mL Mi = 6.00 M Vf = 50.0 mL Find: Mf Vi x Mi = Vf x Mf
Concentration of Solutions Dilution Calculations Vi x Mi = Vf x Mf 25.0 mL x 6.00 M = 50.0 mL x Mf Mf = 25.0 mL x 6.00 M = 3.00 M 50.0 mL Note:Vi and Vf do not have to be in liters, but they must be in the same units.
Concentration of Solutions Dilution Calculations Example: What volume of 0.50 M NaNO3 would be needed to prepare 100.0 mL of 0.10 M NaNO3 by dilution? Given: Mi = 0.50 M Vf = 100.0 mL Mf = 0.10 M Find: Vi Vi x Mi = Vf x Mf
Concentration of Solutions Dilution Calculations Vi x Mi = Vf x Mf Vi x 0.50 M = 100.0 mL x 0.10 M Vi = 100.0 mL x 0.10 M = 2.0 x 101 mL 0.50 M

Concentration of Solutions Solution Stoichiometry • Solution stoichiometry can be used to determine the concentration of aqueous solutions used in reactions. • Concentration of an acid can be determined using a process called titration. • reacting a known volume of the acid with a known volume of a standard base solution (i.e. a base whose concentration is known)
