Percent concentration could mean many things...

MOLARITY is defined as the moles of solute per unit volume of solution so 5 moles of NaCl in one liter of solution would be 5M (molar) NaCl solution.
(Note: Solution is the solvent and solute combined, usually the solid is added and then the solution is filled to a certain line once the solid has dissolved.)


MOLALITY is defined as the moles of solute per kilogram of solvent (NOT solution). So 5 moles of NaCl in one kilogram of water makes 5 mol/kg NaCl. (sometimes the symbol m is used for molality but is often confused with the unit of meters).


For other types of "percent concentration" of solutions check:

A cursory glance seemed to confirm the accuracy of the information.

Why does the percent ionization of acetic acid increase as the concentration of the solution decreases?

As you increase the concentration of the solution, the concentration of H+ does not change. Meaning, the concentration ionized does not change. Just the original concentration increases. Since percent ionization = (concentration ionized)/(original concentration) , and the original concentration is increased, the percent ionization therefore decreases.

If you have a cell with water concentration of 90 percent and solute concentration of 10 percent and you place it into a solution that is 80 percent water concentration and 20 percent solute concentra?

The cell will lose water by osmosis because water will move from an area of higher concentration (inside the cell, 90% water) to an area of lower concentration (outside the cell, 80% water). This movement of water will continue until the concentrations of water inside and outside the cell reach equilibrium.
