Question:

Suppose 115 g of KCl is dissolved in 750 mL of water (density = 1.005 g/mL). Determine the molality, molarity, mole fraction, mole percent, and ppm by mass of the solution.

Solute Concentration

The concentration of a solute in a solution can be expressed using different units of concentration including molality ({eq}m {/eq}), molarity ({eq}M {/eq}), mole fraction ({eq}x_{solute} {/eq}), mole percent ({eq}\%mol {/eq}), and ppm by mass of the solution.
