In Chemistry, “Concentration” expresses the amount of solute present in the solution. Suppose you have been given two jars containing lemon juice and added different quantities of sugar. How will you express its concentration? You will say lemon juice in one jar is “too sweet” and “less sweet” in another. But Chemistry doesn’t use the word “too” to express concentrations. We have to define it. A solution in which a relative amount of solute is less is known as a dilute solution, and one with a large amount of solute is known as a concentrated solution. But these are the relative terms and do not give quantitative information about the solution. Thus, in this article, we will look at the different methods of expressing the concentration of solutions. So, let’s start! 1)      Solution concentration or strength: It describes the amount of solute present in one litre of solution. It is denoted by C or S, and its unit is g/L. It is also known as the strength of ...
