Chemistry - Molarity

Molarity

Solute – The substance that is being dissolved (ex. Ice tea crystals)

Solvent – The substance doing the dissolving (ex. Water)

Solvation Process – The process of dissolving a solute in a solvent

A solution – is a mixture of a solute mixed in a solvent; solutions can be liquid, solids, or gases

Also see Moles for conversions for the number of moles

Molarity (M) – The number of moles of solute dissolved in one litre of solvent

Molairty = N/V

N = number of moles

V = Volume (L)

Molarity can be written as- moles per litre, M, mols/L, Molar, mols L^-1

This triangle means that if you are trying to find the number of moles, divide N/V.

Number of Moles is equal to Molarity times Volume, and volume is the same as Number of moles divided by Molarity.
