Solution Concentration Calculations

The document provides examples for calculating the concentration of solutions using percent by mass (m/m), percent by volume (v/v), and parts per million (ppm). It defines each term and shows the calculations. For percent by mass and volume, it demonstrates calculating the mass or volume of solute given the total solution and vice versa. For ppm, it converts between grams of solute and parts per million. The examples guide the reader step-by-step through applying the calculations to different scenarios.

Example 2
You have a 650.0g KCL solution. If the percent by mass is 1.25% (m/m),
how many grams of solute is in the solution? How many grams of solvent
are in the solution?
Then remember: solute + solvent =
solution First find solute:

If you have 200.0 mL of a 35.0% aqueous solution of ethanol, what


volume of ethanol and water are in the solution?

First find solute:

Example 6
Suppose 17 grams of sucrose is dissolved in 183 grams of water.
What is the concentration of sucrose in ppm?

Example 7
150 mL of an aqueous sodium chloride solution contains 0.0045g NaCl.
Calculate the concentration of NaCl in parts per million (ppm).
Remember 1ppm = 1 mg/L So change the mL into L
and the g into mg

0.0045g 1000mg 1000mL = 30 mg/L = 30 ppm


150mL 1g 1L
Example 8
Convert 0.0035% NaCl by mass into parts per million of
NaCl.
* Think of 0.0035% like your
grade on a test; 0.0035% means
0.0035 out of 100

0.0035
×106 = 35ppm
