• Solution uniform homogenous mixture of two or more substances i.e, solute and solvent.
Solution= solute + solvent• Standard solution: very precise solution, usually to 3-4 significant
figures, used in quantitative analysis or an analytical procedure.
• Saturated solution: a solution that contains the maximum amount of a particular a solute that will dissolve at that temperature
• Supersaturated solution: a solution that contains more solute than equilibrium condition allow; it is unstable & the solute may precipitate upon slight agitation or addition of single crystal

Preparing Solutions
Solutions of known concentration can be prepared in a number ofdifferent ways depending on the nature of the analyte and/or theconcentration required:
• Weighing out a solid material of known purity, dissolving it in a suitable solvent and diluting to the required volume
• Weighing out a liquid of known purity, dissolving it in a suitable solvent and diluting to the required volume
• Diluting a solution previously prepared in the laboratory
• Diluting a solution from a chemical supplier.

Weight Measurements
Basic protocol 1: measuring mass using a top-loading Balance1. Turn on balance and wait for display to read 0.0 g.2. Place weighing vessel on the balance pan (e.g., creased weighing
paper, weigh boat)3. Press tare button so that display reads 0.0g.4. Gently add the substance being weighed to the weighing sample.
5. Record mass.6. Remove weighed sample.
7. Clean spills off balance with brush or absorbent laboratory tissue. Discard any disposable weighing vessel.

Common Practical Units forReporting Concentration
Name Units SymbolMolarity Moles of solute / litres of solution M
Normality Number of EWs solute / Litre of solution N
molality Moles of solute / Kg of solvent m
Weight % g of solute / 100 g of solution % w/w
Volume % mL of solute / 100 mL of solution % v/v
Weight-to-Volume % g of solute / 100 mL of solution % w/v
•Weight per unit volume e.g., g/L, mg/ml
•Parts per million(ppm) or ppb
12
1. Molar solutions• Molarity is number of moles of a solute that are dissolved per liter of total
solution.
• A 1 M solution contains 1 mole of solute per liter total volume.
Example:
A 1M solution of H2SO4 contains 98.06 g of sulfuric acid in 1 liter of total solution.
"mole" is an expression of amount
"molarity" is an expression of concentration.
13
Contd..• "Millimolar", mM, millimole/L.
– A millimole is 1/1000 of a mole.
• "Micromolar", µM, µmole/L.
– A µmole is 1/1,000,000 of a mole.
HOW MUCH SOLUTE IS NEEDED FOR A SOLUTION OF A PARTICULAR MOLARITY AND
VOLUME?
(g solute ) X (mole) X (L) = g solute needed
1 mole L
or
FW X molarity x volume = g solute needed
14
TO MAKE SOLUTION OF GIVEN MOLARITY AND VOLUME
1. Find the FW of the solute, usually from label.
2. Determine the molarity desired.
3. Determine the volume desired.
4. Determine how much solute is necessary by using the formula.
5. Weigh out the amount of solute.
6. Dissolve the solute in less than the desired final volume of solvent.
7. Place the solution in a volumetric flask or graduated cylinder. Add solvent until exactly the required volume is reached, Bring To Volume, BTV.
15
2. Normal Solutions• Normality is defined as the gram Eq.Wt. of the
solute per L of the solvent.1N sol. = 1 EW solute / 1L of sol.
• Conc. Of acids and alkalis are usually expressed in this unit.
• gram Eq.Wt. is the M.W divided by the no. of H+ or OH- ions released from 1 molecule of the acid or base, respectively in solutions.Eq. Wt. = MW of the substance / replaceable no. of H+ or OH-
16
Example:1N Sulphuric Acid
M.W of H2SO4 = 98 g
Each molecule of acid releases 2 H+ ions in solutions.Eq. Wt. = 98/2
= 49So, 1L of 1N H2SO4 solution contains 49 g of H2SO4
Chemical M.W Eq. Wt. 1N of solution contains
NaOH 40 1 40 g
KOH 56 1 56g
Na2CO3 106 2 53g
HCl 36.45 1 45g
18
3. Molal solutions
• Molality expresses the no. of moles per 1000 g or 1 Kg of solvent.
• It is dependent on the density of solvent.• It is different from Molarity as the later refers to
volume of the solution, which is temperature dependent.
• Molal solutions are not usually used in biochemical exp.
19
4. Percent solution• Mass percent solutions are defined based on the grams of solute per 100
grams of solution. Example: 20 g of sodium chloride in 100 g of solution is a 20% by mass solution.
• Volume percent solutions are defined as ml of solute per 100 mL of solution. Example: 10 mL of ethyl alcohol + 90 ml of H2O (making approx. 100 mL of solution) is a 10% by volume solution.
• Mass-volume percent solutions are also very common. These solutions are indicated by w/v % & are defined as the grams of solute per 100 mL of solution.Example: 1 g of phenolphthalein in 100 mL of 95% ethyl alcohol is a 1 w/v % solution.

21
5. PPM and PPB
ppm: The number of parts of solute per 1 million parts of total solution.
ppb: The number of parts of solute per billion parts of solution.
Example
5 ppm chlorine = 5 g of chlorine in 1 million g of solution,
Or
5 mg chlorine in 1 million mg of solution,
Or
5 pounds of chlorine in 1 million pounds of solution
CONVERSIONS
To convert ppm or ppb to simple weight per volume expressions:
5 ppm chlorine = 5 g chlorine = 5 g chlorine 106 g water 106 mL water
= 5 mg/1 L water
= 5 X 10-6 g chlorine/ 1 mL water
= 5 micrograms/mL

1 m 142.04 g Na2SO4 Add 1.00 kg of water
1 N 71.02 g Na2SO4 BTV 1 L with water
1 % 10 g Na2SO4 BTV 1 L with water
1 ppm 1 mg BTV 1 L

PREPARING DILUTE SOLUTIONS FROM CONCENTRATED ONES
• Concentrated solution = stock solution• Use this equation to decide how much stock
solution you will need:C1V1=C2V2
Where, C1 = concentration of stock solutionC2 = concentration you want your dilute solution to beV1 = how much stock solution you will needV2 = how much of the dilute solution you want to
make
25
EXAMPLE
• How would you prepare 1000 mL of a 1 M solution of Tris buffer from a 3 M stock of Tris buffer?
– The concentrated solution is 3 M, and is C1.
– The volume of stock needed is unknown, ?, and is V1.
– The final concentration required is
1 M, and is C2.
– The final volume required is 1000 mL and is V2.
SUBSTITUTING INTO THE EQUATION:
C1 V1 = C2 V2
3 M (?) 1 M (1000 mL)
? = 333.33 mL
So, take 333.33 mL of the concentrated stock solution and BTV 1 L.
26
Preparation of exact 1N HCL• Dilute 100 ml of HCl with water to 1 L. Mix well.
• Prepare exact 1N sol. Of Na2CO3 by dissolving 5.30g anhydrous Na2CO3 in 100 ml H2O.
• Phenolphthalein indicator– Dissolve 250 mg indicator in 50 ml of 50% alcohol.
• Titration– Take 10ml of acid sol & 10ml H2O in a small beaker– Add 2-3 drops of indicator – Titrate with Na2CO3 sol from a 25ml burette till a faint red colour
is obtained– Note the vol.(x ml) of base consumed at the end point
27
Contd..
• Calculate the exact normality of the acid by formula– Normality of base X vol. of base = normality of
acid X vol. of acid– So, the normality of HCl = 1x X/10– Normality of base is 1 vol of base is x ml.
• After calculating the exact normality of the acid, it is proportionately diluted with water to obtain to exact 1 normal sol.
28
Exact 1N NaOH solution• Eq. Wt. Of NaOH is 40g
So 40g dissolved in 1L of H2O fo approx. 1N sol. & used.
• But for exact normality it is titrated against Oxalic acid sol.(6.3g in 100ml water)
• Take 10ml oxalic acid + 10ml water in a beaker, add 2-3 drops of phenolpthalein indicator. Titrate against the NaOH from a burette till a faint red colour is obtained.
• Calculate exact normality of sodium hydroxide sol as in case of acid & dilute proportionately with water to obtain exact 1N sol.
29
• Do not use chemicals from unlabeled containers
• Do not place labels on top of one another.
• Label chemicals clearly and permanently.
Become A Label Fanatic
30
You make it- you label it
1. identity of contents2. concentration3. your name4. date of preparation5.Hazard alert (if applicable)
An unlabeled container will become tomorrow’s“Mystery Substance”
31
Do NOT × eat, drink or smoke in the
laboratory .× pipette by mouth× leave equipment using
water, gas or electricity on overnight
× Never add water to conc. Sulphuric acid
32
ALWAYS Keep your working area clean
and tidy.
Open bottles near window where ventilation is available.
Handle conc. Acids & liquor Ammonia with care.
label containers & solutions.
secure the tops of reagent bottles immediately after use
wear a lab coat & appropriate eye protection
wash hands after using any substances hazardous to health, on leaving the laboratory.
keep broken glassware & sharps separate from other waste & dispose of in the appropriate containers
33
TO ASSURE THE QUALITY OF A SOLUTION
