(N/A) The concentration of a solution is defined as the amount of solute present in a given amount (mass or volume) of the solution or solvent.
It represents the relative proportion of solute and solvent in the mixture.
Mathematically, it can be expressed as: $\text{Concentration} = \frac{\text{Amount of solute}}{\text{Amount of solution}}$.
