Calculate amounts for dilutions.

Calculation should include

  • defining solute and solvent
  • describing how to calculate and prepare a dilution in terms of the relationship between solute and solvent (e.g., 1:3)
  • describing how to calculate a percent concentration
  • calculating amounts for selected dilutions to a teacher-specified degree of accuracy.

Process/Skill Questions:

  • What operations are required to complete advanced mathematical calculations?
  • Why are conversion operations necessary for completing these calculations?
  • How many ounces of the chemical will be used to create 1 quart of a substance that requires a dilution ratio of 1:3?
