CONCENTRATION TERMS
1. SOLUTIONS
A solution is a homogenous mixture of two or more pure substances whose composition may be
altered within certain limits. Though the solution is homogenous in nature, yet it retains the properties
of its constituents.
Generally solution is composed of two components, solute and solvent. Such type of solution is
known as binary solutions.
Solvent is that component in solution whose physical state is the same as that of the resulting
solution while other component is called as solute. If the physical state of both component is
same, than the component in excess is known as solvent and other one is called as solute. Each
component in a binary solution can be in any physical state such as liquid, solid and gaseous
state.

2. CONCENTRATION TERMS :
The concentration of a solution is the amount of solute dissolved in a known amount of the solvent
or solution. Solution can be described as dilute or concentrated solution as per their concentration.
A dilute solution has a very small quantity of solute while concentrated solution has a large quantity
node06\B0AH-AI\Kota\JEE(Advanced)\Nurture\Chem\Sheet\Concentration terms\Eng\01_Theory.p65

of solute in solution. Various concentration terms are as follows.

2.1 Mass percentage :
It may be defined as the number of parts of mass of solute per hundred parts by mass of solution.

2.2 Mass-volume percentage (W/V %) :
It may be defined as the mass of solute present in 100 cm3 of solution. For example, If 100 cm3 of
solution contains 5 g of sodium hydroxide, than the mass-volume percentage will be 5% solution.

æwö wt. of solute

2.3 Volume Percent :

It can be represented as % v/v or % volume and used to prepare such solutions in which both
components are in liquids state. It is the number of parts of by volume of solute per hundred parts
by volume of solution. Therefore,

• For gases % by volume is same as mole %

2.5 Mole Fraction (X) :

Mole fraction may be defined as the ratio of number of moles of one component to the total
number of moles of all the components (solute and solvent) present in solution. It is denoted by
letter X and the sum of all mole fractions in a solution always equals one.

Mole fraction does not depend upon temperature and can be extended to solutions having more

than two components.

2.6 Molarity (M) :

Molarity is most common unit for concentration of solution. It is defined as the number of moles of
solute present in one litre or one dm3 of the solution or millimol of solute present in one mL of
solution.

Mole of solute
Molarity (M) = volume of solution in litre

2.7 Molality (m) : The number of gram mole of the solute present in 1000 g of the solvent is known
as molality of solution. It represented by letter ‘m’.

Moles of solute
Molality (m) = Mass of solvent (in kg)

The unit of molality is mol/kg and it does not effect by temperature.

2.8 Parts per million (ppm) : The very low concentration of solute in solution can be expressed in
ppm. It is the numbers of parts by mass of solute per million parts by mass of the solution.

Ex.1 Calculate the mole fractions of the components of the solution composed by 92 g glycerol and
90 g water ? (M (water) = 18 ; M (glycerol) = 92)
Ans. Moles of water = 90 g / 18 g = 5 mol water
Moles of glycerol = 92 g / 92 g = 1 mol glycerol
Total moles in solution = 5 + 1 = 6 mol
Mole fraction of water = 5 mol / 6 mol = 0.833
Mole fraction of glycerol = 1 mol / 6 mol = 0.167

Ex.2 What will be the Molarity of solution when water is added to 10 g CaCO3 to make 100 mL of
solution?
Ans. Mol of CaCO3 = 10 / 100 = 0.1

Comprehension Q.19 and Q.22 (4 questions)
Estimation of nitrogen : There are two methods for the estimation of nitrogen (i) Dumas method
and (ii) Kjedahl's method.
i. Dumas method : A known mass of compound is heated with copper oxide (CuO) in an atomsphere of
CO2, which gives free nitrogen along with CO2 and H2O.
CxHyNz + (2x + y/2) CuO ® xCO2 + y/2 (H2O) + z/2 (N2) + (2x + y/2) Cu.
The gaseous mixture is passed over a heated copper gauze which converts traces of nitrogen oxides
formed to N2. The gaseous mixture is collected over an aqueous solution of KOH which absorbs CO2,
and nitrogen is collected in the upper part of the graduated tube.
ii. Kjeldahl's method : A known mass of organic compound (0.5 gm) is mixed with K2SO4 (10 gm) and
CuSO4. (1.0 gm) or a drop of mercury (Hg) and conc. H2SO4 (25 ml) , and heated in Kjeldahl's flask.
CuSO4 or Hg acts as a catalyst, while K2SO4 raises the boiling point of H2SO4. The nitrogen in the organic
compound is quantitatively converted to ammonium sulphate. The resulting mixture is then distilled with
excess of NaOH solution and the NH3 evolved is passed into a known but excess volume of standard
HCl or H2SO4 . The acid left unused is estimated by titration with some standard alkali. The amount of
acid used against NH3 can thus be known and from this the percentage of nitrogen is calculated.
