What Is Molarity?

Molarity (M) is the number of moles of solute per liter of solution. It's the most common way to express solution concentration.

Formula

M = moles of solute / liters of solution

Example

0.5 moles of NaCl in 1 liter of water = 0.5 M NaCl solution.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between molarity and molality?

Molarity uses volume of solution. Molality uses mass of solvent. Molality doesn't change with temperature.

How do I prepare a specific molarity?

Calculate moles needed: moles = Molarity × Volume. Convert to grams using molar mass.
