Concentration in mol/dm³ | GCSE Chemistry Practice

Concentration tells you how much of a solute is dissolved in a certain volume of solution.

Calculate the concentration if 0.5 moles are dissolved in 250cm³.

What is Concentration in mol/dm³ | Practice?

"The amount of solute (in moles) dissolved in a given volume of solvent (usually 1 dm³)."

Question 1

Calculate the relative formula mass (Mr) of H2O. (H=1, O=16)

Question 2

Calculate the mass of 0.25 moles of Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3). (Mr=100)

Question 3

How many moles are in 36g of water? (Mr of H2O = 18)

Solution Strength

Concentration ($mol/dm^3$) = Moles / Volume ($dm^3$).

To convert $cm^3$ to $dm^3$, divide by 1000.

Concentration can also be measured in $g/dm^3$.

Exam Tip

Math Rule: Always check your units! If the volume is in $cm^3$, you MUST convert to $dm^3$ before using the mole formula.
