the diagram below is a model of two solutions. each yellow ball represents one particle of solute. solvent volume: 30 ml solvent volume: 50 ml solution a solution b which solution has a higher concentration of yellow particles? solution a solution b neither; their concentrations are the same
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Calculate concentration formula
Concentration ( C=\frac{n}{V}) (where (n) is the number of solute particles and (V) is the volume of the solvent). Assume the number of yellow particles (solute) in Solution A and Solution B is (n = 6) (counting the yellow balls).
Step2: Calculate concentration of Solution A
For Solution A, (V_A=30\space mL), (C_A=\frac{6}{30}= 0.2\space particles/mL)
Step3: Calculate concentration of Solution B
For Solution B, (V_B = 50\space mL), (C_B=\frac{6}{50}=0.12\space particles/mL)
Answer:
Solution A
