Answer

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

The formula for molarity is:

Molarity (M)=Moles of soluteVolume of solution in liters\text{Molarity (M)} = \frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution in liters}}

Or, using common symbols:

M=nVM = \frac{n}{V}

where:

  • MM is molarity (in mol/L\text{mol/L} or mol/dm3\text{mol/dm}^3)
  • nn is the number of moles of solute (in mol\text{mol})
  • VV is the volume of the solution (in L\text{L} or dm3\text{dm}^3)
