A solution is a homogenous mixture of 2 or
more substances

The solute is(are) the substance(s) present in the


smaller amount(s)

The solvent is the substance present in the larger


amount

2
A saturated solution contains the maximum amount of a
solute that will dissolve in a given solvent at a specific
temperature.
An unsaturated solution contains less solute than the
solvent has the capacity to dissolve at a specific
temperature.
A supersaturated solution contains more solute than is
present in a saturated solution at a specific temperature.
Sodium acetate crystals rapidly form when a seed crystal is
added to a supersaturated solution of sodium acetate.

Concentration Units
The concentration of a solution is the amount of solute
present in a given quantity of solvent or solution.

Percent by Mass
mass of solute
% by mass = x 100%

Example 12.3

Calculate the molality of a sulfuric acid solution containing


24.4 g of sulfuric acid in 198 g of water.

The molar mass of sulfuric acid is 98.09 g.


Example 12.3
Strategy To calculate the molality of a solution, we need to
know the number of moles of solute and the mass of the
solvent in kilograms.

Solution The definition of molality (m) is

First, we find the number of moles of sulfuric acid in 24.4 g of


the acid, using its molar mass as the conversion factor.
Example 12.3
The mass of water is 198 g, or 0.198 kg. Therefore,
Example 12.4
The density of a 2.45 M aqueous solution of methanol (CH3OH)
is 0.976 g/mL. What is the molality of the solution? The molar
mass of methanol is 32.04 g.
Example 12.4
Strategy To calculate the molality, we need to know the
number of moles of methanol and the mass of solvent in
kilograms. We assume 1 L of solution, so the number of
moles of methanol is 2.45 mol.
Example 12.4
Solution Our first step is to calculate the mass of water in 1 L
of the solution, using density as a conversion factor. The total
mass of 1 L of a 2.45 M solution of methanol is

Because this solution contains 2.45 moles of methanol, the


amount of water (solvent) in the solution is
Example 12.4
The molality of the solution can be calculated by converting
898 g to 0.898 kg:
Example
Calculate the molality of a 35.4 percent (by mass) aqueous
solution of phosphoric acid (H3PO4).

The molar mass of phosphoric acid is 97.99 g.


Example
Strategy In solving this type of problem, it is convenient to
assume that we start with a 100.0 g of the solution. If the mass
of phosphoric acid is 35.4 percent, or 35.4 g, the percent by
mass and mass of water must be 100.0% − 35.4% = 64.6%
and 64.6 g.

Solution From the known molar mass of phosphoric acid, we


can calculate the molality in two steps. First we calculate the
number of moles of phosphoric acid in 35.4 g of the acid
Example
The mass of water is 64.6 g, or 0.0646 kg. Therefore, the
molality is given by
