TERM 1
concentration
DEFINITION 1
the amount of solute dissolved in given quantity of solvent or
solution
ratio of solute to solvent
TERM 2
molarity molar concentration
DEFINITION 2
number of moles of solution per liter of solution, symbolized
M
molarity = moles solute/liters solution
M = mol/L
L = mol/M
mol = M x L
TERM 3
dilution
DEFINITION 3
process of preparing a less concentrated solution from a
more concentrated one*Remember*
moles of solute before dilute = moles of solute after
dilution
TERM 4
visible spectrophotometry
DEFINITION 4
measurement of absorption of visible light for qualitative and
quantitative analysis
TERM 5
transmittance (T)
DEFINITION 5
ratio of the intensity if light transmitted the a sample (I)to the
intensity of the incident light (I0)
