Chemistry - (2.3) Concentration and Molarity

Concentration

relative amount of a particular substance contained within a solution.

Molarity

The number of moles of solute per one liter of solution.

Dilution

Making a liquid more dilute.

Solute

Minor component in a solution, dissolved in the solvent

Solvent

Able to dissolve other substances

Standard solution

Solution of an accurately known concentration prepared from a primary standard.

Concentrated solution

Has a relatively larger amount of dissolved solute.

Dilute Solution

Relatively low amount of solute dissolved in the solution.

Saturated solution

So much solute, if there was anymore, it would not dissolve

Unsaturated solution

Solution that contains less than the maximum amount of solute that is capitable of being dissolved

Stock solution

A concentrated solution that is prepared to a specific concentration for use in various laboratory applications.
