Molarity is the concentration of a solution expressed as the number of moles of solute per litre of solution.
Explanation:To get the molarity, you divide the moles of solute by the litres of solution.
Molarity=moles of solutelitres of solution
For example, a 0.25 mol/L NaOH solution contains 0.25 mol of sodium hydroxide in every litre of solution.
To calculate the molarity of a solution, you need to know the number of moles of solute and the total volume of the solution.
To calculate molarity:
Calculate the number of moles of solute present.Calculate the number of litres of solution present.Divide the number of moles of solute by the number of litres of solution.
