Preparing a solution of known concentration

 

Molarity

 

Molarity is a measurement of concentration.

Specifically for molarity, it is the number of moles in a given volume

 

 

 

There are 6 moles of NaCl in 3 liters of water, so the Molarity (Concentration) is 2 moles / liter. The molarity of the soluion is 2.0

 

 

 

The main equation for calculating molarity is that molarity = the number of moles in one liter of solution

The video below shows exactly how to setup and use the molarity equation to determine the number of moles needed to make 100mL of a 0.1M solution
