Molarity
Calculate the molar concentration of a solution.
Molarity = Moles of Solute / Volume of Solution in Litres
Formula Explanation
Molarity measures moles of dissolved solute per litre of total solution.
Variables Explained
M = Molarity in mol/L; n = Moles of solute; V = Solution volume in litres.
Solved Example
Find molarity when 0.5 mol solute is present in 2 L solution.
M = 0.5 / 2 = 0.25 mol/L.
