LESSON 1.
WAYSOF EXPRESSION
OF CONCENTRATION OF SOLUTIONS
Required base level.
Percent Concentration; molarity. Methods of preparing solutions.
Questions for the preparation for the lesson.
1. Solutions. Density of solutions. The role of solutions in the vital functions
of the human body.
2. Ways of expressing the concentration of solutions: the mass fraction of
the dissolved substance, the molarity, the normality, the mole fraction, molality,
the titer of the solution.
3. Chemical equivalent. Equivalents of salts, acids, bases;
4. Ways of converting one concentration into another.

Laboratory work:
Preparation of sodium chloride solution by dilution.
Each studentreceives an individual assignment from the teacher. Example
task: to prepare 200 g of 8% solution of sodium chloride (NaCl) from a 20%
solution of this salt (ρ = 1.145 g/ml). Calculate the molarity, the normality, the
molality and the titer of the prepared solution.
