Two beakers labelled A and B contain salt solution. Beaker A contains 2g Sodium chloride in 100ml water while beaker B contains 5g Sodium chloride in 100ml water? Which solution do you think is more concentrated?
find the answer by using following formula
Concentration of solution = Amount of solute / Amount of solvent.
Answers
Concentration of solution = Amount of solute / Amount of solvent.
IN BEAKER 'A' ,
Amount of solute (salt) = 2g
Amount of solvent (water) = 100ml
then from ,
Concentration of solution = Amount of solute / Amount of solvent.
Concentration of solution = 2 / 100 = 0.02
IN BEAKER 'B' ,
Amount of solute (salt) = 5g
Amount of solvent (water) = 100ml
then from ,
Concentration of solution = Amount of solute / Amount of solvent.
Concentration of solution = 5/100 = 0.05
THERE FORE WE CAN CONCLUDE THAT BEAKER 'B' IS MORE CONCENTRATED THAN BEAKER 'A'
