AMOUNT OF SUBSTANCE
Mole is the amount of substance containing the same number of particles or
entities as there are atoms in 12 g of carbon-12 isotopes.

AMOUNT OF SUBSTANCE
Dilution of solutions
1. When a solution is diluted, the total number of moles remains the same. But the
concentration changes during dilution.
2. When a solution is diluted, moles of the concentrated solution = moles of the diluted
solution.
n = C x V (dm3).
Cconc x Vconc = Cdil x Vdil i.e.
C1V1 =C2V2
Vdil = Vconc + Vwater
Examples
1.50 cm3 of 0.2 M NaoH was diluted to 250 cm3. What will be the
concentrated of the diluted solution.
2. Determine the volume of water required to change required to
change the concentration of 100 cm3 of 0.5 M HCl to 0.1 M HCl.
STEPS INVOLVED IN THE PREPARATION OF SOLUTION
Apparatus needed
Volumetric flask, beaker, funnel, wash bottle or measuring cylinder containing distilled water, stirring
rod
Methods
- Weigh accurately the actual mass of the substance using a weighing scale into a clean beaker.
- Add small quantity of distilled water from the wash bottle to dissolve the substance in the beaker.
Ensure complete dissolution by stirring it with a stirring rod.
- Transfer the solution from the beaker into volumetric flask using a funnel.
- Rinse the rest of the content of the beaker with distilled water and transfer all content into the
volumetric flask.
- Mix well the solution in the volumetric flask by shaking it.
- Add more distilled water from the wash bottle to the mark of the volumetric flask.
- Cork the volumetric flask and shake it to ensure the solution is completely mixed.
