need *delete me* Concentration calcualtion
« on: January 19, 2007, 12:46:31 AM »
 What is the concentration of a solution in g/mL that contains 6.0 g in a volume of 1.8 mL?

im not sure about this one?
can someone show me how to do it

You're overshooting this one entirely.  What is concentration? 

What does g/mL signify?  Isn't this the same thing as concentration?  How do the units here differ from the units that molarity is defined by?

Can anyone pls explain me about Twaddle (Tw)...and how to convert this to percentage conversion like %w/v, %v/v...thanks in advance...

I'm not sure what Twaddle is (?).

w/w, w/v, and v/v % are expressions of parts per hundred.

Twaddle Degree (Twº) is a measure of specific gravity of solution, not its concentration. Similar to Baume Degree (Beº).

Liquids heavier than water
Twaddle(Twº) = ((density of the liquid at 60 °F/density of water at 60 °F) - 1) x 200

Example: To get concentration (i.e. molarity) of the HCl, you'll have to convert degrees Twaddle to a specific gravity, and then use the specific gravity to look up the concentration of HCl from a table in a handbook.

To convert %w/w to Molarity use 10 X (%) x Density divided by molecular mass
