concentrationIn chemistry, the amount of a substance (solute) present in a specified amount of a solution. Either amount may be specified as a mass or a volume (liquids only). Common units used are moles per cubic decimetre, grams per cubic decimetre, grams per 100 cubic centimetres, and grams per 100 grams. The term also refers to the process of increasing the concentration of a solution by removing some of the substance (solvent) in which the solute is dissolved. In a concentrated solution, the solute is present in large quantities. Concentrated brine is around 30% sodium chloride in water; concentrated caustic soda (caustic liquor) is around 40% sodium hydroxide; and concentrated sulphuric acid is 98% acid. |
