DETERMINING THE CONCENTRATION OF CONCENTRATED LIQUIDS
At times, it may be necessary to determine the concentration of a commercial
liquid such as the mol/L, Eq/L, or g/dL concentration. To do this consider the definition
of each unit of concentration, then multiply the density (g/mL), given on the bottle times
