    • Molarity is a unit of measurement that quantifies the amount of a substance dissolved in a solution.
    • It is defined as the number of moles of a dissolved substance (solute) per liter of solution.
    • A mole is the international standard unit for quantifying the amount of a substance and is used to specify amounts of submicroscopic entities such as atoms and molecules.
    • One mole equals 6.022 x 10^23 entities, known as Avogadro's number.

    Molar Volume and Ideal Gas Law

    • The volume of a substance per mole of that substance is its molar volume.
    • At a given pressure and temperature, one mole of any gas occupies the same volume, which is 22.4 liters under standard temperature and pressure (STP) conditions.

    Calculating Molarity and Moles of Gas

    • To find the molarity of a solution, you need to know the liters of solution and the molarity of the key reactant.
    • The formula to calculate moles of reactant is: moles = liters of solution x molarity of reactant.
    • To calculate the moles of gas reacted or produced, you need to follow four basic steps: write out the chemical reaction, find the number of moles of reactant, balance the chemical reaction, and convert moles of product to liters.

    Chemical Equations and Yield

    • The reactants in a chemical equation are found on the left side, and the products are on the right side.
    • The yield is the amount of product that is formed from the reactants.
    • The limiting reactant is the reactant that yields the least amount of product.
    • The molecular mass is the total atomic mass of all the elements that constitute a molecule.

    Percent Composition

    • Percent composition is the ratio of the total quantity of an element to the molecular mass of the compound.
    • It is used to determine the empirical formula of a compound.
    • The formula to calculate percent composition is: percent composition = (total amount of element / molecular mass of compound) x 100.

    Dissolution and Solubility

    • Dissolution is the process of a solute dissolving into a solvent to form a homogeneous mixture.
    • The factors that affect the rate of dissolution include polarity, temperature, pressure, and surface area of the solute.
