Question:
What are the various methods to express concentration of a solution?
Answer:
There are many ways to express strength of a solution. A fee are:
- Percentage by mass
- Percentage by volume
1. Percentage by mass: It is defined as number of parts by mass of the solute dissolved per hundred parts by mass of the solution. i.e.

2. Percentage by volume: It is defined as the number of parts by volume of the solute dissolved in hundred parts by volume of the solution.

Similarly, for liquid in liquid solutions, the strength of a solution can be expressed as

Note Mass percentage concentration of solution is independent of temperature. While mass by volume percentage strength of a solution is temperature dependent, since volume changes with temperature.
