Understanding your calculation
Method, example and limitations
How the calculation works
Molarity is the number of moles of solute divided by solution volume in liters. To convert a mass to moles, divide grams by molar mass in g/mol.
Example to check
0.5 mol dissolved to a final solution volume of 2 L gives 0.25 mol/L.
Before using the result
Use final solution volume, not just solvent volume. Purity, hydration state, temperature and laboratory measurement uncertainty can affect preparation.
