Molarity and Dilution

Now those pesky moles are swimming! But how much solute is there? Let's learn about how we measure concentrations of solutions, and how to perform dilution calculations.

    Guys, at 0:30 I say "moles solute per liter of solvent", but it's per liter of solution! What a dumb mistake on my part, but it's an important definition to get right so please take note.

    you can just google the molar mass as well. im not sure what you are doing wrong but The molar mass of calcium hydroxide, Ca(OH)2 , is 74.092 g/mol rounded up to 74.1. You take the molar mass of CA and then oxygen and hydrogen. Since there is a 2 around (OH) you need to double both oxygen and hydrogen so its 40.078+ 16+16 + 1.008 +1.008 totaling around 74.1

  • @gabriels2395

    @gabriels2395

    4 жыл бұрын

    I would say YES. Because the volume of solute only increases by adding more solute. Now it is the CONCENTRATION of that solute the one that changes if the volume of solvent is altered. This because the concentration is a "ratio" between the solute AND the solvent.

    well concentration and volume are inversely proportional, if you double the volume of solvent, the concentration will necessarily be cut in half

    First of all, thanks for the great videos. I just have a quick question. Are you supposed to add the mass of the solute to the solvent to get the total mass of the solution? I don't know this for certain, and want to make sure I am doing the right calculations. Thanks in advance. *Edit* Mean't volume, not mass.

  • @ProfessorDaveExplains

    well here mass doesn't come into play, as molarity is moles solute per liter solution. but there could be other applications where mass is relevant.

    oh, yes! i know it seems weird but solute will fit into the spots between the solvent particles and won't impact the overall volume, so if adding a solid solute, we don't have to factor that into the total volume. of course if combining liquids, we do add the volumes.

I feel I am smart person, but the class is two days a week and the teacher seems she expects us to understand what is going on. In my opinion, she is sort of neglectful when I ask her questions. I feel I need to open up my mind more about chemistry.
