Questions & Answers

Q: What is a solution?

A solution is a mixture of a solute dissolved in a solvent. It consists of two components: the solute (the substance being dissolved) and the solvent (the substance in which the solute dissolves).

Q: How is the concentration of a solution specified?

The concentration of a solution is often specified as the volume percent concentration, which represents the percentage of the total volume of the solution that is made up of the solute.

Q: How is the volume percent concentration calculated?

The volume percent concentration is calculated by dividing the volume of the solute by the total volume of the solution, and then multiplying this fraction by 100 to get a percentage.

Q: How can algebra be used to solve mixture concentration problems?

Algebra can be used to calculate the quantities of two solutions with different concentrations that need to be combined to achieve a desired concentration. By setting up equations based on volume percent concentrations, the values of each mixture can be determined.

Summary & Key Takeaways

  • A solution is a mixture of a solute dissolved in a solvent, and the concentration indicates the percentage of solute in the solution.

  • Volume percent concentration is commonly used to specify concentration when mixing two liquids, calculated by dividing the volume of solute by the total volume of the solution and multiplying by 100.

  • To determine the concentration of a mixture when combining solutions with different concentrations, algebraic equations involving volume percent concentration are used.
