Concentration of a solution

The concentration of a solution is defined as: the amount of solute present in a given amount of solution. Concentration is generally expressed as the quantity of solute in a unit volume of solution.

A solution containing a relatively low concentration of solute is called dilute solution. A solution of high concentration is called concentrated solution

WAYS OF EXPRESSING CONCENTRATION

There are several ways of expressing concentration of a solution:
     (a)  Percent by weight
     (b)  Mole fraction
     (c)  Molarity
     (d)  Molality
     (e)  Normality
