HOW DO WE KNOW
THE ACCURATE
AMOUNT OF
SOLUTE ?
LET’S SAY YOU PREPARED A GLASS OF ICED TEA AND YOU PUT TOO
MUCH ICED TEA POWDER ON IT.

WHAT DO YOU THINK WILL HAPPEN TO THE COLOR, THE SMELL AND
THE TASTE?
OF COURSE THE COLOR WILL BE DARK; THE SMELL IS TOO STRONG AND
THE TASTE WILL BE TOO SWEET SINCE YOU PUT TOO MUCH ICED TEA
POWDER ON IT.
● INTENSITY OF COLOR
● STRENGTH OF THE SMELL
● DEGREE OF SWEETNESS
CONCENTRATION

of solute dissolved in
OF THE SOLUTIONS
a solution.
THIS CAN BE EXPRESS BY QUALITATIVELY AND QUANTITAVELY

DILUTED
means a weak solution
because it contains a little
amount of solute
compared to the amount
of solvent.
CONCENTRATED
a strong solution because it
contains a large amount of
solute dissolved in a
solution.

Situation 3: There are two solutions as follows:

Which is a stronger solution?

Which is a weaker solution?
Which solution is concentrated?
Which solution is diluted?
HOWEVER, More accurate way of expressing is in terms of
Percentage

CONCENTRATION OF SOLUTIONS CAN BE EXPRESS

PERCENT BY MASS PERCENT BY VOLUME
• Percent (%) by mass is equal to the mass of
solutes divided by the total mass of the Percent by volume (% V/ V) =gives the volume
solution times 100. of liquid solute dissolved in a definite volume

● SAMPLE PROBLEM NO.1
1.What is the percent by mass of a salt solution by dissolving 11g of
salt in 80g of solutions?
SOLUTION:
% by mass = Mass of solute x 100%
GIVEN:
Mass of solution
Mass of (solute) table salt = 11g
% by mass = 11g x 100%
Mass of solutions = 80g
80g
UNKNOWN
% by mass = 0.1375 x 100%
% by mass = ?
ANSWER:
FORMULA:
% by mass = 13.75%
% by mass = Mass of solute x 100%

● SAMPLE PROBLEM NO.2
2. A solution is prepared by mixing 30 grams of table salt, (Sodium
chloride) and 120 grams of water. What is the concentration of table
salt in % by mass? SOLUTION:
Mass of solution = mass of solute+ mas of solvent
GIVEN:
mass of solution = 30g + 120g = 150g
Mass of (solute) table salt = 30g
Mass of (solvent) water = 120g
% by mass = Mass of solute x 100%
Mass of solution
UNKNOWN
% by mass = 30g x 100%
% by mass = ?
150g
% by mass = 0.2 x 100%
FORMULA:
% by mass = Mass of solute x 100%
ANSWER:
Mass of solution
% by mass = 20%
 PERCENT BY VOLUME
● SAMPLE PROBLEM NO.3
●
What is the concentration (in % by volume) of a solution containing
40.0 mL alcohol and 500 mL water?
GIVEN: SOLUTION:
Volume of solute (alcohol)= 40.0mL Volume of solution = vol. of solute + vol. solvent
Volume of solvent (water)=500mL Volume of solution = 40.0mL + 500mL = 540mL
% by volume= volume of solute x 100%
UNKNOWN volume of solution
% by Volume = ? % by volume = 40mL x 100%
540mL
FORMULA:
% by volume= volume of solute x 100% ANSWER:
volume of solution % by volume = 7.40%
