1Highland Science Department Concentration
2Highland Science Department Concentration Concent
ration the amount of solute per quantity of
solvent
3Highland Science Department Concentration Methods
of determining concentration 1. mass/volume
solute mass (g) x 100 solution
volume (mL)
4Highland Science Department Concentration Methods
of determining concentration 1. mass/volume
solute mass (g) x 100 solution
volume (mL) e.g. saline solution that contains
0.9 g of sodium chloride dissolved in 100
mL 0.9 (m/v)
5Highland Science Department Concentration Methods
of determining concentration 2. mass/mass
solute mass (g) x 100 solution
mass (g)
6Highland Science Department Concentration Methods
of determining concentration 2. mass/mass
solute mass (g) x 100 solution
mass (g) e.g. 100 g of toothpaste contains 0.76
g of sodium fluoride 0.76 (w/w)
7Highland Science Department Concentration Methods
of determining concentration 3. volume/volume
solute volume (mL) x 100
solution volume (mL)
8Highland Science Department Concentration Methods
of determining concentration 3. volume/volume
solute volume (mL) x 100
solution volume (mL) e.g. 100 mL of rubbing
alcohol contains 70 mL of isopropyl alcohol in
water. 70 (v/v)
9Highland Science Department Concentration concent
rations of very trace amounts of solute (e.g.
pollutants) can be expressed as parts per
million (ppm) parts per billion (ppb) parts
per trillion (ppt)
10Highland Science Department Concentration parts
per million solute mass x 106
solution mass similar to mg/L
11Highland Science Department Concentration parts
per million solute mass x 106
solution mass similar to mg/L parts per billion
solute mass x 109 solution
mass similar to µg/L
12Highland Science Department Concentration e.g. A
1.6 kg fish was found to contain 0.6 mg of
mercury. If the acceptable level is 0.5 ppm,
would this fish be safe to eat?
13Highland Science Department Concentration e.g. A
1.6 kg fish was found to contain 0.6 mg of
mercury. If the acceptable level is 0.5 ppm,
would this fish be safe to eat? G fish mass
1.6 kg x 1.6 x 103 g mercury mass
0.6 mg x 6 x 10-4 g acceptable level
0.5 ppm
14Highland Science Department Concentration e.g. A
1.6 kg fish was found to contain 0.6 mg of
mercury. If the acceptable level is 0.5 ppm,
would this fish be safe to eat? U safety of the
fish S 1. calculate ppm solute mass x
106 solvent mass 2. compare with
acceptable level
15Highland Science Department Concentration e.g. A
1.6 kg fish was found to contain 0.6 mg of
mercury. If the acceptable level is 0.5 ppm,
would this fish be safe to eat? S 1. ppm 6 x
10-4 g x 106 1.6 x 103 g 0.38 ppm
16Highland Science Department Concentration e.g. A
1.6 kg fish was found to contain 0.6 mg of
mercury. If the acceptable level is 0.5 ppm,
would this fish be safe to eat? S 1. ppm 6 x
10-4 g x 106 1.6 x 103 g 0.38
ppm 2. yes, it's ok to eat the fish because its
concentration is lower than 0.5 ppm
