Concentration in mol/dm³

Concentration can be measured in mol/dm³ (also written as mol/dm³ or mol/dm³).
It is often more useful to express concentration in moles per unit volume rather than mass per unit volume.
The formula is: concentration (mol/dm³) = number of moles of solute (mol) ÷ volume of solution (dm³).
The units in the answer can be written as mol dm⁻³ or mol / dm³.
You may need to convert between g/dm³ and mol/dm³ depending on the question.

Concentration, moles and volume formula triangle

Converting between cm³ and dm³

To go from cm³ to dm³, divide by 1000.
To go from dm³ to cm³, multiply by 1000.
For example, 500 cm³ ÷ 1000 = 0.5 dm³.
A common mistake is forgetting to convert units, which gives an answer a thousand times out.

Calculating moles from concentration and volume

Rearrange the formula to find moles: moles = concentration × volume.
Make sure the volume is in dm³ before substituting into the equation.
A formula triangle can help you rearrange the relationship between concentration, moles and volume.
You are not given the formula triangle in exams, so you must learn it.
It is a good idea to write the formula down before starting a problem.

Worked example: moles from concentration

Calculate the moles in 2.5 dm³ of a solution of concentration 0.2 mol/dm³.
Moles = concentration × volume = 0.2 × 2.5.
The answer is 0.5 mol.

Worked example: concentration from mass

Calculate the concentration of sodium hydroxide, NaOH, when 80 g is dissolved in 500 cm³ of water (Na = 23, H = 1, O = 16).
First find the relative formula mass: Mᵣ(NaOH) = 23 + 16 + 1 = 40.
So 40 g NaOH = 1 mole, and 80 g NaOH = 2 moles.
Convert volume: 500 cm³ ÷ 1000 = 0.5 dm³.
Concentration = moles ÷ volume = 2 ÷ 0.5 = 4 mol/dm³.

Titration calculations

If the concentration of one reactant is known, the exact volumes from a titration and the balanced equation can be used to find the concentration of the other reactant.
Use the equation for the reaction to find the mole ratio between the acid and the base.
Calculate moles of the known solution using moles = (volume ÷ 1000) × concentration.
Use the mole ratio to deduce the moles of the unknown solution.
Finally, calculate concentration using concentration = moles ÷ volume (dm³).

Worked example: titration calculation

25.0 cm³ of hydrochloric acid was titrated against 0.100 mol/dm³ NaOH; 12.1 cm³ of NaOH was required.
Equation: HCl (aq) + NaOH (aq) → NaCl (aq) + H₂O (l).
Moles of NaOH = 0.012 dm³ × 0.100 mol/dm³ = 1.21 × 10⁻³ mol.
The acid reacts in a 1:1 ratio, so moles of HCl = 1.21 × 10⁻³ mol.
This is present in 25.0 cm³ = 0.025 dm³.
Concentration of HCl = 1.21 × 10⁻³ ÷ 0.025 = 0.0484 mol/dm³.

Key terminology and practical skills

Titration is used to determine the concentration of a strong acid or alkali.
A pipette is used to measure a precise volume of one solution into a conical flask.
A burette is used to add the other solution until the end-point is reached.
A standard solution is one whose concentration is accurately known.
Concordant results are titres within a small range (e.g. 0.10 cm³) of each other; only these should be averaged.
Neutralisation occurs when an acid and alkali react completely.

Common misconceptions and errors

Failing to convert cm³ to dm³ gives answers a thousand times out.
Do not confuse g/dm³ with mol/dm³ — they are different units.
Do not average non-concordant titres; only use concordant results.
A more concentrated solution is not necessarily a stronger acid.
When reading a burette, read from the correct end of the scale (top to bottom).

concentration (mol/dm³) = moles of solute (mol) ÷ volume of solution (dm³)

How do you convert a volume from cm³ to dm³?

Divide the volume in cm³ by 1000. For example, 500 cm³ = 0.5 dm³.

How do you convert a volume from dm³ to cm³?

Multiply the volume in dm³ by 1000. For example, 2.5 dm³ = 2500 cm³.

What is the mass of 1 mole of sodium hydroxide, NaOH? (Ar: Na=23, O=16, H=1)

40 g. Mr = 23 + 16 + 1 = 40, so 1 mol NaOH has a mass of 40 g.

Calculate the number of moles in 2.5 dm³ of a solution with concentration 0.2 mol/dm³.

Moles = concentration × volume = 0.2 × 2.5 = 0.5 mol.

Calculate the concentration of a solution when 80 g of NaOH is dissolved in 500 cm³ of water. (Mr NaOH = 40)

80 g NaOH = 2 mol; 500 cm³ = 0.5 dm³; concentration = 2 ÷ 0.5 = 4 mol/dm³.

In a titration, 25.0 cm³ of hydrochloric acid is neutralised by 12.1 cm³ of 0.100 mol/dm³ NaOH. What is the concentration of the acid?

Moles NaOH = 0.0121 dm³ × 0.100 = 1.21 × 10⁻³ mol. The 1:1 equation means moles HCl = 1.21 × 10⁻³ mol. Concentration HCl = 1.21 × 10⁻³ ÷ 0.0250 = 0.0484 mol/dm³.

What is a standard solution?

A solution of accurately known concentration, prepared by dissolving an exact mass of solute in a known volume of solution.

Why is a burette used to measure the volume of solution added in a titration?

A burette allows the volume added to be measured accurately and can be added drop by drop, so the end-point can be reached precisely.

What are concordant results in a titration?

Titres that are within 0.10 cm³ of each other. Only concordant results should be averaged to improve accuracy.

Why should you not average non-concordant titres?

Non-concordant titres are not reliable and averaging them would give an inaccurate mean, leading to an incorrect calculated concentration.

What is the relationship between concentration in mol/dm³ and concentration in g/dm³?

concentration (g/dm³) = concentration (mol/dm³) × molar mass (g/mol).

What is the concentration in g/dm³ of a 0.25 mol/dm³ solution of sodium hydroxide? (Mr NaOH = 40)

0.25 × 40 = 10 g/dm³.

Moles = concentration × volume = 0.25 × 1.5 = 0.375 mol.

In a titration, why is a pipette used to measure the volume of the solution in the conical flask?

A pipette measures a fixed, accurate volume (e.g. 25.0 cm³) so the amount of substance in the flask is known precisely.

In a titration, 25.0 cm³ of dilute hydrochloric acid is neutralised by 23.5 cm³ of 0.100 mol/dm³ sodium hydroxide. Calculate the concentration of the acid.

Moles NaOH = 0.0235 dm³ × 0.100 = 0.00235 mol. The 1:1 equation means moles HCl = 0.00235 mol. Concentration HCl = 0.00235 ÷ 0.0250 = 0.094 mol/dm³.

Balance the equation: ___ KOH + ___ H₂SO₄ → ___ K₂SO₄ + ___ H₂O

2 KOH + H₂SO₄ → K₂SO₄ + 2 H₂O

31.0 cm³ of 0.250 mol/dm³ sulfuric acid completely reacts with 25.0 cm³ of potassium hydroxide solution. Calculate the concentration of the KOH solution in mol/dm³.

Moles H₂SO₄ = 0.0310 × 0.250 = 0.00775 mol. From 2KOH + H₂SO₄, moles KOH = 2 × 0.00775 = 0.0155 mol. Concentration KOH = 0.0155 ÷ 0.0250 = 0.62 mol/dm³.

What mass of barium chloride is needed to make 250 cm³ of a 0.150 mol/dm³ solution? (Mr BaCl₂ = 208)

Moles = 0.250 dm³ × 0.150 = 0.0375 mol. Mass = 0.0375 × 208 = 7.8 g.

A solution of sulfuric acid contains 9.8 g of H₂SO₄ in 250 cm³. What is its concentration in mol/dm³? (Mr H₂SO₄ = 98)

Moles = 9.8 ÷ 98 = 0.10 mol. Volume = 0.250 dm³. Concentration = 0.10 ÷ 0.250 = 0.40 mol/dm³.

How much solute is present in 2 dm³ of a 0.5 mol/dm³ solution of potassium iodide?

Moles = concentration × volume = 0.5 × 2 = 1.0 mol.

25.00 cm³ of 0.20 mol/dm³ sodium hydroxide reacts with 26.50 cm³ of hydrochloric acid. What is the concentration of the acid?

Moles NaOH = 0.02500 × 0.20 = 0.00500 mol. The 1:1 equation means moles HCl = 0.00500 mol. Concentration HCl = 0.00500 ÷ 0.02650 = 0.19 mol/dm³.

What mass of sodium hydroxide is required to make 250 cm³ of a 0.150 mol/dm³ solution? (Mr NaOH = 40)

Moles = 0.250 dm³ × 0.150 = 0.0375 mol. Mass = 0.0375 × 40 = 1.5 g.

Why is it important to convert cm³ to dm³ before using the concentration formula?

The concentration formula uses volume in dm³. If cm³ is used without converting, the answer will be 1000 times too large.

In a titration, what is the end-point?

The point at which the indicator changes colour, showing that the reaction is just complete.

Explain why increasing the concentration of a reactant increases the rate of reaction.

A higher concentration means more particles in the same volume, so collisions are more frequent, increasing the rate.
