Understanding concentration can be tricky for engineers who work with chemical processes. If they measure things wrong, it can cause problems that might be dangerous.

Here are some main points to remember:

1. Measurement Challenges:
   • Concentration can change when the temperature changes.
   • This impacts terms like molarity (how much of a substance is in a certain volume) and molality (how much of a substance is in a certain mass of solvent).
2. Risk of Mistakes:
   • If there are mistakes in dilution (making a solution weaker), it can create unsafe situations.
   • Wrong concentrations can lead to reactions happening that no one expected.

But there’s good news!

With proper training in stoichiometry (the study of how substances react) and concentration calculations, engineers can lower these risks. This training helps improve safety in their work.
