Solubility And Concentration In Chemistry

In this video, Josh explains the concepts of solubility and concentration. He describes the dissolving process, focusing on how solutes like table salt dissolve in solvents such as water. The video covers the importance of polarity in solubility, explaining that polar substances dissolve in polar solvents. Josh also discusses how concentration is measured, with a focus on molarity, and provides examples of calculating molarity and solute mass using dimensional analysis and mole conversions.
