In summary, to find the concentration of a solution, we dissolve 3.576 grams of KCL in water and complement the volume to 200ml. This involves calculating the number of moles in the given mass of KCL and then using that to determine the Molarity, which is the concentration measured in moles per liter.

Do you understand what concentration actually is? It measures the amount of ssomething in some volume. You could measure it in moles per litre, grams per mL etc. Think about what it means and see if you can try to solve it yourself.

i know how to calculate the number of moles in 3.576 gr of KCL
but i don't know what's the volume of that in the solution?

i could calculate the number of moles per litter

Good! Then you can calculate Molarity, which is moles of solute in 1 liter of solution.
 

FAQ: Consentration question(basic chemistry)

What is concentration in basic chemistry?

Concentration in basic chemistry refers to the amount of a substance (usually a solute) dissolved in a given amount of solution (usually a solvent). It can also be described as the measure of the abundance or strength of a solution.

How is concentration measured?

Concentration can be measured in various units, such as molarity (mol/L), mass percent (%), and parts per million (ppm). These units represent different ways of expressing the ratio of solute to solvent in a solution.

What is the difference between molarity and mass percent?

Molarity is a measure of concentration that represents the number of moles of solute per liter of solution. Mass percent, on the other hand, represents the mass of the solute as a percentage of the total mass of the solution. Mass percent is often used for solutions with a solid solute, while molarity is used for solutions with a liquid solute.

How does concentration affect chemical reactions?

The concentration of a solution can greatly affect the rate and outcome of a chemical reaction. Higher concentrations of reactants can lead to faster reaction rates, while higher concentrations of products can shift the equilibrium towards the products. Additionally, concentration can affect the pH and other properties of a solution, which can also impact chemical reactions.

How can I calculate concentration?

To calculate concentration, you need to know the amount of solute and the volume of solution. Depending on the unit of concentration being used, the calculation may vary. For example, to calculate molarity, you would divide the moles of solute by the volume in liters. It is important to pay attention to the units and convert as needed to ensure an accurate calculation.
