Chemistry 1210: Introduction to General Chemistry Dr. Gina M. Florio 27 Sept. 2012 Jespersen, Brady, Hyslop Chapter 5B Molecular View of Reactions in Aqueous Solution Properties of Solutions: Quantitative Composition The molar concentration or molarity (M) is defined as: units of M = mol/L (mol L-1) Example: How many grams of AgNO3 are needed to prepare 250 mL of a 0.0125 M AgNO3 solution? NOTE: You can also solve this for concentration OR liters of solution CH. 5 Properties of Solutions: Quantitative Composition Solutions of high concentration can be diluted to make solutions of lower concentration. Dilution: CH. 5 Example: How much 1.0 M CuSO4 (aq) solution is required to prepare 250 mL of a 0.10 M CuSO4 (aq) solution? How much water is required? Solution Stoichiometry CH. 5
