    Study Notes

    Molarity

    Molarity is a measure of the concentration of a solution.

    Definition:

    Molarity (M) is the number of moles of solute per liter of solution.

    Formula:

    Molarity (M) = Number of moles of solute / Liter of solution (L)

    M = n / L

    Units:

    • Molarity is expressed in units of moles per liter (mol/L)
    • Often denoted by the symbol "M" (e.g., 1M, 2M, etc.)

    Calculation:

    To calculate molarity, you need to know:

    • The number of moles of solute (n)
    • The volume of the solution in liters (L)

    Example:

    • 2 moles of NaCl (solute) dissolved in 1 liter of water (solution)
    • Molarity = 2 mol / 1 L = 2M

    Key Points:

    • Molarity is a concentration unit that depends on the volume of the solution
    • It is a useful way to express the concentration of a solution in a laboratory setting
    • Molarity is often used in stoichiometric calculations and in chemical reactions

    Molarity

    • Molarity is a measure of the concentration of a solution, defined as the number of moles of solute per liter of solution.

    Formula and Units

    • Molarity (M) is calculated by dividing the number of moles of solute (n) by the liter of solution (L): M = n / L
    • Expressed in units of moles per liter (mol/L), often denoted by the symbol "M" (e.g., 1M, 2M, etc.)

    Calculation Requirements

    • To calculate molarity, you need to know the number of moles of solute (n) and the volume of the solution in liters (L)

    Example Calculation

    • 2 moles of NaCl (solute) dissolved in 1 liter of water (solution) has a molarity of 2M (2 mol / 1 L)

    Key Characteristics and Applications

    • Molarity is a concentration unit that depends on the volume of the solution
    • It's a useful way to express the concentration of a solution in a laboratory setting
    • Molarity is often used in stoichiometric calculations and chemical reactions
