Calculating and comparing solution concentrations | 16–18 years

Source: Royal Society of Chemistry

Use this lesson plan to practise calculating the concentration of a solution from the mass of solute and volume of water

In this activity, learners begin by comparing the concentrations of several solutions and reflecting on their current level of understanding. They then work in pairs using cards to link a mass of solute, volume of water and concentration of a solution, exploring the process of calculating concentration.

The lesson plan includes an extension activity, giving learners additional practise calculating the concentration of solutions.
