Highlights
Molarity is calculated using the formula: moles of solute / liters of solution
Solute is the substance that is dissolved, while solvent is the substance that dissolves the solute
Example calculation: 0.25 moles of NaCl in 300 mL of solution results in a molarity of 0.83 M
To convert grams to moles, use the molar mass of the substance
Example: 60 grams of NaOH (molar mass ≈ 40 g/mol) in 250 mL of solution results in a molarity of 6 M
Milliliters can be converted to liters by dividing by 1000 or moving the decimal three places to the left
Molarity is expressed in moles per liter (M)
Example: 700 mg of KI in 200 mL of solution results in a molarity of 0.0211 M
To find the concentration of ions, multiply the molarity of the compound by the number of ions in the formula unit
Example: 0.3 M Al2(SO4)3 solution contains 0.6 M Al3+ and 0.9 M SO42- ions
For ethanol in water, the volume of the solution is the sum of the volumes of the solute and solvent
Example: 50 mL ethanol (density 0.79 g/mL) in 400 mL water results in a 1.905 M ethanol solution
To find the mass of a solute needed to make a solution, multiply molarity by volume in liters and then by molar mass
Example: To make a 250 mL, 0.75 M NH4Cl solution, 10.03 grams of NH4Cl are needed
To find the volume of solution needed to dissolve a certain mass of solute, divide mass by molar mass, then divide by molarity
Example: To dissolve 8.5 g of KNO3 to make a 0.15 M solution, 560 mL of solvent are needed
Molar mass is calculated by summing the atomic masses of all atoms in a molecule
Use molar ratios to convert between different substances in a solution (e.g. Al2(SO4)3 to Al3+ or SO42-)
