In chemistry and chemical reactions what is concentration

Concentration refers to how much of a chemical is present in a given solution.

Consider two beakers with 200cm^3 of water. One has 10g of salt, the other one has 50g of salt. The beaker with the 50g of salt is more concentrated/has a higher concentration because there is much more of the solute in the same amount of solvent.

concentration means Molarity which further can be explained in the following way

for example there are two beakers, in the first beaker you have 100cm3 of water as a solvent and 20 grams of salt or any solute and int the second beaker you have 50cm3 of water and 30 grams of salt. once you mix the two compounds a solution will be formed but the more concentrated solution will be the one in which the solvent was closer to solute in mass... concentration is a reaction condition and can be calculated by the following formula

molarity =moles of solute/ liters of solution
