Diluting Concentrated Acids
Dilution of concentrated acid should always be done in a fume cupboard.
It is important only to pour acid into water, not the other way around, especially with concentrated acids. Acids may quickly absorb water, creating a lot of heat in the process. When acid is poured into water, the heat can quickly become evenly distributed in the water. If water is poured into acid, the water may quickly boil, spraying acid everywhere.
Hydrochloric acid
Hydrochloric acid can be purchased as either 36% or 32% solution so carefully check the bottle first.
To make a 1 molar solution (1M):
36%
Add 84mL of 36% hydrochloric acid to about 600mL of distilled water in a 1 litre measuring cylinder in a fume cupboard. Make up to 1L, mix well and pour into a labelled bottle.
32%
As above, except use 97mL of hydrochloric acid.
Safety Notes
Concentrated hydrochloric acid is highly corrosive and very irritating to the lungs, wear a face shield and use a fume cupboard.
- 1M (mole/litre) solutions and above should be labelled IRRITANT.
- 5M solutions and above should be labelled CORROSIVE.
Nitric Acid
Assuming the concentrated nitric acid is 70%w/v, then to make a 1M solution:
Add 62mL of concentrated nitric acid to about 700mL of water then dilute to 1L.
- 0.1M (mole/litre) solutions and above should be labelled IRRITANT.
- 1M solutions and above should be labelled CORROSIVE.
Sulphuric acid
Concentrated sulphuric acid is highly CORROSIVE and a dehydrating agent. It causes severe burns. It should only be handled under close supervision by an experienced person. Wear gloves and protect the eyes with safety goggles or even better, a face shield.
In a fume cupboard, add 54mL of concentrated sulphuric acid to about 700mL of iced water and dilute to 1 litre. This is a 1M solution.
- 1M (mole/litre) solutions and above should be labelled IRRITANT.
- 4M solutions and above should be labelled CORROSIVE.
Ethanoic acid
Known also as acetic acid. The concentrated acid is called Glacial acetic acid as it freezes at 17°C. Glacial acetic acid is CORROSIVE and the vapour is an extreme IRRITANT. Wear gloves and protect the eyes with safety goggles or even better a face shield. Work in a fume cupboard.
To make a 1M (mole/litre) solution, add 29mL of the concentrate to about 600mL of distilled water and dilute to 1 litre.
- 1M (mole/litre) solutions and above should be labelled IRRITANT
- 4M solutions and above should also be labelled CORROSIVE

Help! It won't dissolve
Some substances do not dissolve very readily in water and require special methods.
This dissolves very slowly in water. The best thing to do is to start making it up the day before you need it. Mix the powder into agitated water, then put into the fridge overnight. When you come back in the morning it will have dissolved.
- Sodium alginate
In general, starch is insoluble in water, but some types of starch e.g. corn starch will dissolve in water provided they are made into a paste first with cold water then dissolved in boiling water.
- Starch
Most iron III salts do not form stable aqueous solutions. In order to get them to dissolve you need to add a small amount of acid. Add hydrochloric acid to the chloride etc...

Reagents used for testing foodstuffs
Biuret reagent
This is used to test for the presence of protein. There are two recipes the first consists of two reagents Biuret A and Biuret B.
For the second (Quantitative) recipe, in about 600mL of distilled water, dissolve in order 3g of copper sulphate. 5H2O, 5g of potassium iodide, 9g of potassium sodium tartrate.4H2O, and 8g of sodium hydroxide. Make the dissolved solids to 1 litre. Label the solution IRRITANT
- A is 0.1M sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide the bottle should be labelled CORROSIVE.
- B is 0.01M copper sulphate solution
Benedict's reagent is used to test for reducing sugars. It has two recipes. Benedict's qualitative and Benedict's quantitative.
Benedict's Qualitative Reagent
The reagent is made up by first dissolving 173g of Sodium citrate and 100g ofanhydrous Sodium Carbonate in about 600ml of distilled water. Then 17.3g copper sulphate5H2O is dissolved in about 100ml of distilled water. The two solutions are then mixed together and when cool are made up to 1L with distilled water.
Benedict's Quantitative Reagent
In about 600ml of hot water dissolve
In about 100ml of water dissolve
- 200g of sodium citrate
- 75g sodium carbonate
- 125g potassium thiocynate
When the solutions have cooled mix them together stirring constantly.Add
- 18g of copper sulphate.6H2O .
- 5ml of 5% potassium ferrocyanide then make up to 1L.
Iodine Solution
Recipes vary but 1g of iodine plus 1g of potassium iodide in 100mL water is suitable. Dissolve the iodide then the iodine.
- Iodine solution is used to test for starch.

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
In chemistry, a solution is one or more substance (the solute) dissolved in another substance (the solvent) forming a homogenous mixture. A common example would be salt dissolving in water (seawater); but also gases may dissolve into liquids, as well as solids into liquids, and liquids and gases into themselves.
The solvent is defined as the substance that exists in a greater quantity than the solute(s) in the solution. If both solute and solvent exist in equal quantities (such as in a 50% ethanol 50% water solution), the substance that is more often used as a solvent is designated a solvent (in this case, water).
Solvents can be broadly classified into polar and non-polar solvents. Common polar solvents include water and ethanol. Generally polar or ionic compounds will only dissolve in polar solvents. An excellent test for the polarity of a liquid solvent is to rub a plastic rod, to induce static electricity. Then hold this charged rod close to a running stream of the solvent. If the path of the solvent deviates when the rod is held close to it, it is a polar solvent.
When a solute is dissolved into a solvent, especially polar solvents, a structure forms around it (a process called solvation), which allows the solute-solvent interaction to remain stable.
When no more of a solute can be dissolved into a solvent, the solution is said to be saturated. However the point at which a solution can become saturated changes significantly with different environmental factors, such as temperature, pressure, and contamination. Raising the solubility (such as by increasing the temperature) to dissolve more solute, and then lowering the solubility causes a solution to become supersaturated.
In general the greater the temperature of a solvent, the more of a given solute it can dissolve. However, some compounds exhibit reverse solubility, which means that as a solvent gets warmer, less solute can be dissolved. Some surfactants exhibit this behaviour.
Several units are used to express the concentration of solutions:
There are many types of solutions:
- The molar is a mole of solute per liter of solution. See molarity.
- The molal is a mole of solute per kilogram of solvent. See molality.
- The molinity unit is moles of solute per kg of solution.
- The formal is the same as the molal, but is used when it is not clear what a molecule of solute is, for instance metals and salts. It is one mole of the chemical formula per kilogram.
Examples of solutions Solute Gas Liquid Solid Solvent Gas Oxygen and other gases in nitrogen (air) Water vapor in air (humidity) The odor of a solid results from molecules of that solid being dissolved in the air Liquid Carbon dioxide in water (carbonated water) Ethanol (common alcohol) in water; various hydrocarbons in each other (petroleum) Sucrose (table sugar) in water; sodium chloride (table salt) in water Solid Hydrogen dissolves rather well in metals; platinum has been studied as a storage medium Water in activated charcoal; moisture in wood Steel, duralumin, other metal alloys

In mathematics, the solution point is a point which satisfies the requirements of an equation. For example: in 4x + y = 9; (2,1) is a solution point because if x = 2 and y = 1...8 + 1 = 9. Some equations have no solution points; such as, x4 + y2 = −6.See also:
- Cartesian coordinate system
