Summary:
- The concentration of a solution is a measure of the amount of solute that has been dissolved in a given amount of solvent or solution.
- The percent can further be determined in one of two ways: (1) the ratio of the mass of the solute divided by the mass.
- of the solution or (2) the ratios of the volume of thesolute divided.
- by the volume.
- A convenient way to express the concentration is a mass percent, which is the grams ofsolute per 100 g of solution.
