How to express concentration in solution?

How to express concentration in solution?


For the concentration of solution, there are plenty of methods to illustrate it. In general, in our daily lives, people prefer to use mass fraction of solute to show the concentration of solution, because this method is convenient. However, for chemistry studying, people prefer to use molar mass fraction of solute, because this method is easy to make any chemical calculations.

 Actually, in chemical calculation, there are four methods to compute the concentrations. 1. Mass concentration: The mass concentration is defined as the mass of a constituent divided by the volume of the mixture V. 2. Molar concentration: The molar concentration is defined as the amount of a constituent in moles divided by the volume of the mixture V. 3. Number concentration: The number concentration is defined as the number of entities of a constituent in a mixture divided by the volume of the mixture V. 4. Volume concentration: The volume concentration is defined as the volume of a constituent divided by the volume of the mixture V.
