medical health pharmaceutical drugsHow do you express concentration in molarity?
Although molarity is commonly used to express concentrations for reactions in solution or for titrations, it does have one drawback—molarity is the number of moles of solute divided by the volume of the solution, and the volume of a solution depends on its density, which is a function of temperature.
Just so, how do you find volume from molarity?
Compute the volume of a solution in liters, given the number of moles and molarity, by dividing the number of moles by the molarity in units of moles per liter. For example, a solution containing 6.0 moles and a having a molarity of 3.0 moles per liter has a volume of 2.0 moles per liter.
Subsequently, one may also ask, what is meant by concentration of a solution which is the most common method of expressing the concentration of a solution?
Molarity (M): One of the most commonly used methods for expressing the concentrations is molarity. It is the number of moles of solute dissolved in one litre of a solution. Suppose a solution of ethanol is marked 0.25 M, this means that in one litre of the given solution 0.25 moles of ethanol is dissolved.
Molality is a property of a solution and is defined as the number of moles of solute per kilogram of solvent. The SI unit for molality is mol/kg. A solution with a molality of 3 mol/kg is often described as “3 molal” or “3 m.” However, following the SI system of units, mol/kg or a related SI unit is now preferred.
