Homework: Calculations of Concentrations:

  In the medical and biological fields, concentrations of solutions are frequently expressed as the mass percent.

A. For example, a 5% solution of sodium hydroxide , contains 5 grams of NaOH in 100 grams of solution.

  Calculation:         5grams NaOH       x   100 = 5% NaOH

                            100g Solution

  To Solve: 5  divided by 100 , multiply by 100 to get the percentage.

  B. For example, what is the mass percent concentration of  a solution containing    2 grams sodium hydroxide  as the solute , dissolved in 78 grams of water as the solvent to make a solution.

Calculation:         2               2  grams NaOH            x   100 = 2.5% NaOH

                                 2 g Solute + 78 g Solvent

  To Solve: Add (2 + 78= 80) , take 2 divided by 80 , multiply by 100 to get the percentage.

  Homework:

 

Calculate the mass percent concentration for the following solutions, SHOW SET UP of ALL PROBLEMS. (When rounding your final answer, use the rules for Significant figures, the 100 does not count as a Significant figure.)
