Concentration of Solutions Task Cards

Front

What is the definition of concentration in a solution?

Back

Concentration refers to the amount of solute present in a given volume of solvent or solution.

Front

What is a solute?

Back

A solute is a substance that is dissolved in a solvent to form a solution.

Front

What is a solvent?

Back

A solvent is a substance that dissolves a solute, resulting in a solution.

Front

How do you calculate the concentration of a solution?

Back

Concentration can be calculated using the formula: Concentration = Mass of solute (g) / Volume of solution (L).

Front

What happens to the concentration of a solution when more solute is added?

Back

The concentration of the solution increases when more solute is added.

Front

What happens to the concentration of a solution when more solvent is added?

Back

The concentration of the solution decreases when more solvent is added.

Front

What is the difference between a concentrated solution and a dilute solution?

Back

A concentrated solution has a large amount of solute compared to the solvent, while a dilute solution has a small amount of solute compared to the solvent.

Front

What is an example of a concentrated solution?

Back

An example of a concentrated solution is 40 g of salt dissolved in 50 mL of water.

Front

What is an example of a dilute solution?

Back

An example of a dilute solution is 10 g of sugar dissolved in 500 mL of water.

Front

What does it mean to evaporate a solute?

Back

Evaporating a solute means to remove it from the solution by turning it into vapor, which can increase the concentration of the remaining solution.
