Molarity

Basic Concept

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

  Molarity (M) = moles of solute (n) / liters of solution (V)

This module is to calculate the molarity of a solution by knowing the moles of the solute directly or indirectly, and the volume of the solution, or calculate either the moles of the solute or the volume of the solution by knowing the molarity and the other quantity.

User Instructions

Calculate Malority:
