Concentration
Heat allows for more solute to be placed in the solvent, because heat causes the solvent molecules to move further apart.
Types of Solution
Unsaturated Solution, Diluted Solution
Less than the max amount of solute in the solvent
Saturated Solution, Concentrated Solution
Max amount of solute in the solvent
Supersaturated Solution
Temporarily more than a saturated solution. More than the max amount of solute in the solvent.
Achieved through external means such as heat.

Mass/Volume Percentage
200 mL of distilled water is added to 4.00 g of a powdered drug to make a final volume of 3.00 mL. Calculate the percentage in a m/v %.

Mass/Mass Percentage
A sample has a mass of 23.47 g. The solution was evaporated and the residue had a mass of 4.58 g. Calculate the m/m % of calcium chloride in the solution.

Volume/Volume Percentage
Rubbing alcohol is sold as 70% (v/v). What volume of alcohol is used to make 500mL?
solution
Parts per Million and Parts per Billion
Just like how % is parts per hundred, we use PpM and PpB when the ratio becomes very small
Remeber:
- Million ->
- Billion ->
Does not refer to the particles per million/billion, but the mass of solute compared to the mass of the solution
