Units of Concentration
Once you have identified the solute and solvent in a solution, you are ready to determine its concentration. Concentration may be expressed several different ways, usingpercent composition by mass, volume percent,mole fraction, molarity,molality, or normality.
1.      Percent Composition by Mass (%)
This is the mass of the solute divided by the mass of the solution (mass of solute plus mass of solvent), multiplied by 100.
Example:
Determine the percent composition by mass of a 100 g salt solution which contains 20 g salt.
Solution:
20 g NaCl / 100 g solution x 100 = 20% NaCl solution
2.      Volume Percent (% v/v)
Volume percent or volume/volume percent most often is used when preparing solutions of liquids. Volume percent is defined as:
v/v % = [(volume of solute)/(volume of solution)] x 100%
Note that volume percent is relative to volume of solution, not volume of solvent. For example, wine is about 12% v/v ethanol. This means there are 12 ml ethanol for every 100 ml of wine. It is important to realize liqud and gas volumes are not necessarily additive. If you mix 12 ml of ethanol and 100 ml of wine, you will get less than 112 ml of solution.
As another example. 70% v/v rubbing alcohol may be prepared by taking 700 ml of isopropyl alcohol and adding sufficient water to obtain 1000 ml of solution (which will not be 300 ml).
3.      Mole Fraction (X)
This is the number of moles of a compound divided by the total number of moles of all chemical species in the solution. Keep in mind, the sum of all mole fractions in a solution always equals 1.
Example:
What are the mole fractions of the components of the solution formed when 92 g glycerol is mixed with 90 g water? (molecular weight water = 18; molecular weight of glycerol = 92)
Solution:
90 g water = 90 g x 1 mol / 18 g = 5 mol water
92 g glycerol = 92 g x 1 mol / 92 g = 1 mol glycerol
total mol = 5 + 1 = 6 mol
xwater = 5 mol / 6 mol = 0.833
glycerol = 1 mol / 6 mol = 0.167
It's a good idea to check your math by making sure the mole fractions add up to 1:
xwater + xglycerol = .833 + 0.167 = 1.000
4.      Molarity (M)
Molarity is probably the most commonly used unit of concentration. It is the number of moles of solute per liter of solution (not necessarily the same as the volume of solvent!).
Example:
What is the molarity of a solution made when water is added to 11 g CaCl2 to make 100 mL of solution?
Solution:
11 g CaCl2 / (110 g CaCl2 / mol CaCl2) = 0.10 mol CaCl2
100 mL x 1 L / 1000 mL = 0.10 L
molarity = 0.10 mol / 0.10 L
molarity = 1.0 M
5.      Molality (m)
Molality is the number of moles of solute per kilogram of solvent. Because the density of water at 25°C is about 1 kilogram per liter, molality is approximately equal to molarity for dilute aqueous solutions at this temperature. This is a useful approximation, but remember that it is only an approximation and doesn't apply when the solution is at a different temperature, isn't dilute, or uses a solvent other than water.
Example:
What is the molality of a solution of 10 g NaOH in 500 g water?
Solution:
10 g NaOH / (40 g NaOH / 1 mol NaOH) = 0.25 mol NaOH
500 g water x 1 kg / 1000 g = 0.50 kg water
molality = 0.25 mol / 0.50 kg
molality = 0.05 M / kg
molality = 0.50 m
Dilutions:You dilute a solution whenever you add solvent to a solution. Adding solvent results in a solution of lower concentration. You can calculate the concentration of a solution following a dilution by applying this equation:MiVi = MfVf
where M is molarity, V is volume, and the subscripts i and f refer to the initial and final values.
Example:
How many millilieters of 5.5 M NaOH are needed to prepare 300 mL of 1.2 M NaOH?
Solution:
5.5 M x V1 = 1.2 M x 0.3 L
V1 = 1.2 M x 0.3 L / 5.5 M
V1 = 0.065 L
V1 = 65 mL        Reference of the above material is
Parts per million (ppm)and Parts per billion (ppb)

Physical properties can be divided into two categories. Extensive properties (such as mass and volume) depend on the size of the sample. Intensive properties (such as density and concentration) are characteristic properties of the substance; they do not depend on the size of the sample being studied. This section introduces a third category that is a subset of the intensive properties of a system. This third category, known as colligative properties, can only be applied to solutions. By definition, one of the properties of a solution is a colligative property if it depends only on the ratio of the number of particles of solute and solvent in the solution, not the identity of the solute.
Very few of the physical properties of a solution are colligative properties. As an example of this limited set of physical properties, let's consider what happens to the vapor pressure of the solvent when we add a solute to form a solution. We'll define Po as the vapor pressure of the pure liquid --the solvent --and P as the vapor pressure of the solvent after a solute has been added.
Po = vapor pressure of the pure liquid, or solvent
P = vapor pressure of the solvent in a solution
When the temperature of a liquid is below its boiling point, we can assume that the only molecules that can escape from the liquid to form a gas are those that lie near the surface of the liquid.
When a solute is added to the solvent, some of the solute molecules occupy the space near the surface of the liquid, as shown in the figure below. When a solute is dissolved in a solvent, the number of solvent molecules near the surface decreases, and the vapor pressure of the solvent decreases.
This has no effect on the rate at which solvent molecules in the gas phase condense to form a liquid. But it decreases the rate at which the solvent molecules in the liquid can escape into the gas phase. As a result, the vapor pressure of the solvent escaping from a solution should be smaller than the vapor pressure of the pure solvent.
P( vapour pressure of the above a solvent) <  P0(vapour pressure of the pure solvent)
Between 1887 and 1888, Francois-Marie Raoult showed that the vapor pressure of a solution is equal to the mole fraction of the solvent times the vapor pressure of the pure liquid.
                                          P=X(Solvent)Po
This equation, which is known as Raoult's law, is easy to understand. When the solvent is pure, and the mole fraction of the solvent is equal to 1, P is equal to Po. As the mole fraction of the solvent becomes smaller, the vapor pressure of the solvent escaping from the solution also becomes smaller.

True Solution

True Solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances in which substance dissolved (solute) in solvent has the particle size of less than 10-9 m or 1 nm. Simple solution of sugar in water is an example of true solution. Particles of true solution cannot be filtered through filter paper and are not visible to naked eye.

Suspensions

Suspension is a heterogeneous mixture in which particle size of one or more components is greater than 1000nm.When mud is dissolved in water and stirred vigorously, particles of mud are distributed evenly in water. After some time, the particles of this solution settle under water due to influence of gravity. This solution is an example of Suspension (see picture below). Contrary to True Solution,particles of suspension are big enough to be seen with naked eye.

Colloidal Solution

Colloidal Solution is a heterogeneous mixture in which particle size of substance is intermediate of true solution and suspension i.e. between 1-1000 nm. Smoke from a fire is example of colloidal system in which tiny particles of solid float in air. Just like true solutions, Colloidal particles are small enough and cannot be seen through naked eye. They easily pass through filter paper. But colloidal particles are big enough to be blocked by parchment paper or animal membrane.
 
 
10.5.2
Colloids
Colloids are mixtures whose particles are larger than the size of a molecule but smaller than particles that can be seen with the naked eye. Colloids are one of three major types of mixtures, the other two being solutions and suspensions. The three kinds of mixtures are distinguished by the size of the particles that make them up. The particles in a solution are about the size of molecules, approximately 1 nanometer (1 billionth of a meter) in diameter. Those that make up suspensions are larger than 1,000 nanometers. Finally, colloidal particles range in size between 1 and 1,000 nanometers. Colloids are also called colloidal dispersions because the particles of which they are made are dispersed, or spread out, through the mixture.
Types of Collids:
Colloids are common in everyday life. Some examples include whipped cream, mayonnaise, milk, butter, gelatin, jelly, muddy water, plaster, colored glass, and paper.
Every colloid consists of two parts: colloidal particles and the dispersing medium. The dispersing medium is the substance in which the colloidal particles are distributed. In muddy water, for example, the colloidal particles are tiny grains of sand, silt, and clay. The dispersing medium is the water in which these particles are suspended.
Colloids can be made from almost any combination of gas, liquid, and solid. The particles of which the colloid is made are called the dispersed material. Any colloid consisting of a solid dispersed in a gas is called a smoke. A liquid dispersed in a gas is referred to as a fog.
