 Brief Introduction

The concentration of solutions refers to the amount of solute dissolved in a solution. It

can be expressed qualitatively and quantitatively.
Qualitatively, solutions can be diluted or concentrated. Diluted means a weak solution
because it contains a little amount of solute compared to the amount of solvent. Concentrated
on the other hand is a strong solution because it contains a large amount of solute dissolved in a
solution.
Quantitatively, the concentration of solutions can be expressed as percent by mass or
percent by volume. Study the given illustrations below how to compute the concentration of
solutions using percent by mass and percent volume.

A. Percent by mass
Percent (%) by mass is equal to the mass of solutes divided by the total mass of the
solution times 100. Take note that the mass of the solution is the total masses of the solute and
solvent.
(mass of solution = mass solute + mass of solvent)

Consider the formula below.

mass of solute
% by mass = ——————————— x 100
mass of the solution

EXAMPLE:
What is the concentration in % by mass of a solution containing5.0 g of Salt (NaCl) in 500 g of
water?

Given: mass of solute (NaCl) = 5.0 g

Mass of solution = 5.0 g Solute + 500 g Solvent = 505 g solution

5.0 g
% by mass = ———— x 100
502g

= 1.0 %

Percent by volume (% V/ V) =gives the volume of liquid solute dissolved in a definite volume of
solution.

volume of solute
% by volume = ———————————— x 100
volume of solution

EXAMPLE:
What is the % by volume of a solution containing 25 mL solute and 500 mL of solvent?

Given: volume of solute =25 mL

volume of solvent=500 mL
volume of solution = 25 mL + 500 mL = 525 mL

volume of solute
% by volume = ———————————— x 100
volume of solution

25 mL
= ——————— x 100
525 mL
= 4.76 %
