Example Problem 2
What is the concentration in %v/v of a solution containing 3.2 L of
ethanol in 6.5 L of solution?
volume solute 3.2 L
% (v/v) = 100 100 = 49 % v/v
volume solution 6.5L

Example Problem 3
What volume of 1.85 %w/v solution is needed to
provide 5.7 g of solute?
1.85 g solute
% (w/v) =
100 mL solution
We know: We want to get:
g solute
g solute and mL solution
mL solution
100 mL solution
5.7 g solute = 310 mL Solution
1.85 g solute
g solute ÷ concentration = volume solution
Parts per million/billion (ppm & ppb)
mass solute mg
• ppm = × 106 or = ppm
volume solution L
mass solute 9 g
• ppb = × 10 or = ppb
volume solution L
AND
Mass and volume units must match.
For very low

Example Problem 1
An Olympic sized swimming pool
contains 2,500,000 L of water. If 1 tsp of
salt (NaCl) is dissolved in the pool, what
is the concentration in ppm?
1 teaspoon = 6.75 g NaCl

Mole Fraction
Example Problem 2
Air is about 78% N2, 21% O2, and 0.90% Ar.
What is the mole fraction of each gas?
First, we find the moles of each gas. We assume
100. grams total and change each % into grams.
1 mol N 2 1 mol O2
78g N2 = 2.79 mol 21g O2 = 0.656 mol
28 g N 2 32 g O 2
