Aqueous Solutions and Concentrations Flashcards (11 cards)

A homogeneous mixture of solutes dissolved in a solvent.

The solute is the dissolved species and often minor, the solvent is the major species.

Mass concentration is the mass of solute dissolved per litre of solution.

$C_m=\frac{m}{V}$ where $m$ is solute mass and $V$ is solution volume.

Solute: minor; solvent: major component.

$C_m = \frac{m}{V}$, solute mass per litre.

Maximum solute dissolved; no more dissolves.

Max mass of solute per volume in solvent.

$\rho=\frac{m_{solution}}{V}$; mass of solution per volume.

Concentration: solute; density: entire solution.

Ratio of final to initial volume, $F=\frac{V_f}{V_0}$.
