The image above represents the mass concentration. To calculate mass concentration, two essential parameters are needed and these are molar concentration (c) and molar mass (M).
ρ = c x M
Where;
ρ = mass concentration
c = molar concentration
M = molar mass
Let’s solve an example;
Find the mass concentration when the molar concentration is 24 and molar mass is 15.
This implies that;
c = molar concentration = 24
M = molar mass = 15
That is, ρ = c x M
ρ = 24 x 15
ρ = 360
Therefore, the mass concentration is 360 Kg/dm³.
Calculating the Molar Concentration when the Mass concentration and Molar Mass
c = ρ / M
Where;
c = molar concentration
ρ = mass concentration
M = molar mass
Let’s solve an example;
Find the molar concentration when the mass concentration is 120 with a molar mass of 40.
This implies that;
ρ = mass concentration = 120
M = molar mass = 40
This means, c = ρ / M
c = 120 / 40
c = 3
Therefore, the molar concentration is 3 mol/L.

Calculating the Molar Mass when the Mass concentration and Molar Concentration
M = ρ / c
Where;
M = molar mass
ρ = mass concentration
c = molar concentration
Let’s solve an example;
Find the molar mass when the mass concentration is 150 with a molar concentration of 30.
This implies that;
ρ = mass concentration = 150
c = molar concentration = 30
So, M = ρ / c
M = 150 / 30
M = 5
Therefore, the molar mass is 5 mol.
