you want to determine the concentration of a solid solute dissolved in a specified volume of liquid solvent which of the following would be the best to use?

Avolume/volume percent
Bmolarity

c)mass/mass percent

d)mole fraction

Generally, chemists prefer to use morality (B) because it only invovles measuring the final volume of the solution and amount of moles of the solute

The answer is: b) molarity.

Molar concentration (molarity) is a measure of the concentration of a solute in a solution.

Unit for molarity (c = n/V) is the number of moles (n) per litre (V), having the unit symbol mol/L or sometimes mol/dm³.

For example:

m(NaOH) = 80.0 g; mass of solide solute.

n(NaOH) = m(NaOH) ÷ M(NaOH).

n(NaOH) = 80 g ÷ 40 g/mol.

n(NaOH) = 2 mol.

V(NaOH) = 500 mL ÷ 1000 mL/L.

V(NaOH) = 0.5 L; a specified volume of liquid solvent.

c(NaOH) = n(NaOH) ÷ V(NaOH).

c(NaOH) = 2 mol ÷ 0.5 L.

c(NaOH) = 4 mol/L.
