Molar Concentration/ "Molarity" Conversation

Molarity is a number of moles of solute in 1 L of solution. We use "M" to denote molar concentration and ift has the units of "moles/L"

E.g. A 100 M solution is MORE concentrated than a 5 M solution.

Formula: Molarity = moles of solute(mol)/ volume of solution(L) aka M = mol/L

We also learned how to calculate the volume. We will learn more about this topic next class
