Understanding Molarity

What is Molarity?

Molarity (M) is the number of moles of solute per liter of solution. It is the most commonly used unit of concentration in chemistry. The formula is:

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

Dilution Principles

When diluting solutions, the number of moles of solute remains constant. This leads to the dilution equation:

M₁V₁ = M₂V₂

Where:

  • M₁ = Initial molarity
  • V₁ = Initial volume
  • M₂ = Final molarity
  • V₂ = Final volume

Practical Applications

Molarity is crucial in:

  • Preparing laboratory solutions
  • Chemical analysis and titrations
  • Industrial chemical processes
  • Pharmaceutical formulations

Temperature Effects

Solution volume changes with temperature, which affects molarity. For precise work, temperature should be specified and controlled.
