Experiment Goal

Preparing a solution of known concentration

 

Preparing a solution is something that is very critical to many applications in science, medicine, cooking, engine matainence, and other fields. Particularly in chemistry, solutions are made using the concentration concept of molarity. You will go through the different concepts related making a solution, and go through a step by step use of calculating molarity.
