Problem
Three identical transparent containers each hold a liquid solution.
• Container 1: volume = 250 mL; observed solute particles = 8
• Container 2: volume = 100 mL; observed solute particles = 6
• Container 3: volume = 500 mL; observed solute particles = 10
Assuming each “particle” represents the same amount of solute and that the observations are proportional to actual amounts present, rank the three solutions from most concentrated to least concentrated. Provide a brief justification for your ranking.
