Solutions and Concentrations

The fields of chemistry often deal with solutions and concentrations. A solution can be described as a homogeneous blend of two or more substances. Conversely, concentration refers to the quantity of a solute that is present in a certain amount of solvent or solution. Often, we express this in terms of molarity, molality, normality, or percent composition.
