Practice Concentration in Chemistry

Use these practice problems to test your method after reviewing the concept explanation and worked examples.

Quick Recap

The quantity of solute dissolved per unit volume of solution, most commonly expressed as molarity (M) in units of moles per liter (mol/L).

How 'strong' a solution is—more solute in the same volume = more concentrated.
