Therefore,  of stock NaCl must be added. Subtract this volume from to determine the amount of water used in the final solution.

Example Question #2 : Chemistry

6g of sugar is dissolved in 250mL of water. What is the percent concentration of sugar in mass per unit volume?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Concentration can be measured in a variety of ways. To find the percent mass per unit volume, we must divide the mass of solute by the volume of solvent and multiply by 100%.

We know our mass is 6g and our volume is 250mL. Use these values in the equation to find the concentration.
