Question

What is molarity?

Answer 1

Molarity is the concentration of a given solution in moles `dm^-3`

Explanation:

Molarity is the concentration of a given solution in moles `dm^-3`

you can find concentration or molarity from the following equation:
where

1. n = number of moles
2. c = concentration expressed in moles `dm^-3`
3. v is volume usually in `cm^3`

`c = n/v` so long as your volume is converted into `dm3` you can do this by dividing v by 1000 first, before using the equation

Answer 2

`"A measure of concentration....."`

Explanation:

By definition, `"molarity"="moles of solute"/"volume of solution"`...and thus it has units of `mol*L^-1`
