A solid substance that dissolves in a liquid is called a SOLUTE.
The liquid it dissolves in is called a SOLVENT.
The mixture that a SOLUTE and SOLVENT form is called a SOLUTION.
CONCENTRATION is the AMOUNT OF A SUBSTANCE within a certain VOLUME of solution.
The more SOLUTE there is in a given volume, the MORE CONCENTRATED the solution is.
Volume can be measured in cm3 or dm3.
You can CONVERT between the two by multiplying and dividing by 1000:
Concentration is typically measured in grams per decimetre cubed (g/dm³).
You can calculate it using the formula:
If you know the CONCENTRATION and the VOLUME, you can calculate the MASS OF SOLUTE using the rearranged formula.
