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.
