Saturation Concentration Calculator Formula
Understand the math behind the saturation concentration calculator. Each variable explained with a worked example.
Formulas Used
Maximum Solute
max_solute = (solubility_per_100 / 100) * mass_solventVariables
| Variable | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
solubility_per_100 | Solubility (g per 100g solvent)(g/100g) | 36 |
mass_solvent | Mass of Solvent(g) | 250 |
How It Works
How to Calculate Saturation Concentration
Formula
Max solute = (solubility / 100) × mass of solvent
Scale solubility tables proportionally for any mass of solvent.
Worked Example
NaCl solubility is 36 g/100g water at 25C. How much dissolves in 250 g water?
solubility_per_100 = 36mass_solvent = 250
- 01Max = (36 / 100) × 250
- 02Max = 0.36 × 250
- 03Max = 90 g
