Question | Answer |
---|---|
aqueous solution | solution for which water is the solvent |
Avogadro’s number (NA) | experimentally determined value of the number of entities comprising 1 mole of substance, equal to 6.022 × 1023 mol−1 |
concentrated | qualitative term for a solution containing solute at a relatively high concentration |
concentration | quantitative measure of the relative amounts of solute and solvent present in a solution |
dilute | qualitative term for a solution containing solute at a relatively low concentration |
dilution | process of adding solvent to a solution in order to lower the concentration of solutes |
dissolved | describes the process by which solute components are dispersed in a solvent |
empirical formula mass | sum of average atomic masses for all atoms represented in an empirical formula |
formula mass | sum of the average masses for all atoms represented in a chemical formula; for covalent compounds, this is also the molecular mass |
mass percentage | ratio of solute-to-solution mass expressed as a percentage |
mass-volume percent | ratio of solute mass to solution volume, expressed as a percentage |
molar mass | mass in grams of 1 mole of a substance |
molarity (M) | unit of concentration, defined as the number of moles of solute dissolved in 1 liter of solution |
mole | amount of substance containing the same number of atoms, molecules, ions, or other entities as the number of atoms in exactly 12 grams of 12C |
parts per billion (ppb) | ratio of solute-to-solution mass multiplied by 109 |
parts per million (ppm) | ratio of solute-to-solution mass multiplied by 106 |
percent composition | percentage by mass of the various elements in a compound |
solute | solution component present in a concentration less than that of the solvent |
solvent | solution component present in a concentration that is higher relative to other components |
volume percentage | ratio of solute-to-solution volume expressed as a percentage |
