Molarity definition

Molarity is the concentration of a solution, expressed as the number of moles of solute per liter of solution.

Solution components

A solution is made of a solvent (dissolving agent) and a solute (dissolved substance). Soluble substances dissolve, insoluble substances do not.

Arrhenius acid

An Arrhenius acid produces hydrogen ions (H+) when dissolved in water.

Bronsted-Lowry acid

A Bronsted-Lowry acid is a proton donor.
