Find Concentration By Percentage Of Mass Or By Percentage Of Volume
What are the various methods to express
concentration of a solution?
Answer: There are many ways to express strength of a solution. are:
1. Percentage by mass
2. Percentage by volume
1. Percentage by mass: It is defined as number of parts by mass of the solute dissolved per hundred parts by mass of the solution. i.e.
2. Percentage by volume: It is defined as the number of parts by volume of the solute dissolved in hundred parts by volume of the solution.
Similarly, for liquid in liquid solutions, the strength of a solution can be expressed as
Note Mass percentage concentration of solution is independent of temperature. While mass by volume percentage strength of a solution is temperature
dependent, since volume changes with temperature.
