Concentration of Solutions

Molarity (M), or molar concentration, is defined as the number of


moles of solute per liter of solution.
Worked Example 9.8

For an aqueous solution of glucose (C6H12O6), determine (a) the molarity of


2.00 L of a solution that contains 50.0 g of glucose, (b) the volume of this
solution that would contain 0.250 mole of glucose, and (c) the number of moles
of glucose in 0.500 L of this solution.
Strategy Convert the mass of glucose given to moles, and use the equations for
interconversions of M, liters, and moles to calculate the answers.
50.0 g
moles of glucose==0.277 mol
180.2 g/mol

Solution
(a)molarity =0.277 mol C6H12O6 = 0.139 M
2.00 L solution
(b)volume =0.250 mol C6H12O6 = 1.80 L
0.139 M solution
(c)moles of C6H12O6 in 0.500 L = 0.500 L×0.139 M = 0.0695 mol

Concentration of Solutions

Dilution is the process of preparing a less concentrated solution from


a more concentrated one.

moles of solute before dilution = moles of solute after dilution


Dilution is the procedure for preparing a less concentrated
solution from a more concentrated solution.

Concentration of Solutions

In an experiment, a student needs 250.0 mL of a 0.100 M CuCl2


solution. A stock solution of 2.00 M CuCl2 is available.
How much of the stock solution is needed?
Solution: Use the relationship that moles of solute before
dilution = moles of solute after dilution.

Cc × Vc = Cd × Vd

(2.00 M CuCl2)(Vc) = (0.100 M CuCl2)(0.2500 L)


Vc = 0.0125 L or 12.5 mL
To make the solution:
1) Pipet 12.5 mL of stock solution into a 250.0 mL volumetric
flask.
How would you prepare 60.0 mL of 0.2 M
HNO3 from a stock solution of 4.00 M HNO3?

CcVc = CdVd

Cc = 4.00M Cd = 0.200M Vd = 0.06 L Vc = ? L

CdVd 0.200M x 0.06L


Vc = = = 0.003 L = 3 mL
Cc 4.00M

3 mL of acid + 57 mL of water = 60 mL of solution


Concentration of Solutions

Because most volumes measured in the laboratory are in milliliters


rather than liters, it is worth pointing out that the equation can also be
used with mL as the volume as long as both volume measurements
are the SAME unit.
Another Dilution Problem

If 32 mL stock solution of 6.5 M H2SO4 is diluted to a volume of 500 mL


What would be the resulting concentration?

CcVc = CdVd

(6.5M) (32 mL) = Cd (500 mL)

6.5 M * 32 mL
Cd =
500
mL

Cd = 0.42 M
Worked Example 9.9
What volume of 12.0 M HCl, a common laboratory stock solution, must be used
to prepare 250.0 mL of 0.125 M HCl?
Strategy Cc = 12.0 M, Cd = 0.125 M, Vd = 250.0 mL

Solution
12.0 M × Vc = 0.125 M × 250.0 mL
0.125 M × 250.0 mL
V12.0
c = M = 2.60 mL
Worked Example 9.11
Using square-bracket notation, express the concentration of (a) chloride ion in a
solution that is 1.02 M in AlCl3, (b) nitrate ion in a solution that is 0.451 M in
Ca(NO3)2, and (c) Na2CO3 in a solution in which [Na+] = 0.124 M.
Strategy Use the concentration given in each case and the stoichiometry
indicated in the corresponding chemical formula to determine the concentration
of the specified ion or compound.

Solution (a) There are 3 moles of Cl- ion for every 1 mole of AlCl3,
AlCl3(s) → Al3+(aq) + 3Cl-(aq)
so the concentration of Cl- will be three times the concentration of AlCl3.
3 mol Cl-
[Cl-] = [AlCl3]1×mol AlCl3
1.02 mol AlCl3 3 mol Cl-
=L 1 mol ×AlCl3
3.06 mol Cl-
L= = 3.06 M
