MOLARITY
Unveiling the Relationship between Moles and Concentration
MOLE
In chemistry, the term "mole" refers to a fundamental
unit of measurement used to express the amount of a
substance. The entities in a mole can be atoms,
molecules, ions, or any other chemical units
depending on the nature of the substance. The mole
provides a bridge between the microscopic world of
individual atoms and molecules and the macroscopic
world of measurable quantities like grams and liters.
 AVOGADRO’S
NUMBER
Avogadro's number is a fundamental constant in
chemistry, denoted as NA, and it represents the
number of atoms, ions, or molecules in one mole of a
substance. Its value is approximately
6.022×10236.022×1023 entities per mole. This
number is named after the Italian scientist Amedeo
Avogadro, who, in the early 19th century, made
significant contributions to our understanding of the
behavior of gases.
MOLARITY
Molarity, denoted as M, is a measure of the
concentration of a solute in a solution. It is defined as
the number of moles of solute per liter of solution.
Mathematically, molarity (M) is expressed as:
This unit of concentration is widely used in chemistry and is
particularly useful for expressing theamount of solute in a solution
when conducting experiments or analyzing reactions.
• Historically, the concept of molarity can be traced back to the
early 20th century. Theodore William Richards, an American
chemist, is credited with developing the concept of molarity and
introducing it to the scientific community. Richards, who
received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1914 for his work,
played a crucial role in advancing the field of physical
chemistry.
SOLUTION AND CONCENTRATION
In chemistry, a solution is a homogeneous mixture composed of two or more substances. The substances in a solution are
physically and molecularly dispersed at the molecular or ionic level, resulting in a uniform distribution throughout the
mixture. The components of a solution include a solvent and solutes.

SOLVENT: This is the component present in the largest quantity and is responsible for dissolving
the other substances. Water is a common solvent in many solutions, but other liquids and even
gases can serve as solvents depending on the system.

SOLUTE: These are the substances that get dissolved in the solvent. They can be solids, liquids, or
gases. The amount of solute in a solution can vary, and solutions are often classified based on the
concentration of the solute.

SOLUTIONS are essential in various fields of chemistry, biology, and industry, and they play a
crucial role in processes such as chemical reactions, biological functions, and material synthesis.
 CONCENTRATION
Concentration refers to the amount of a
substance (solute) present in a given volume or
mass of another substance (solvent or solution).
It provides a measure of how much of a
particular substance is contained within a
specific quantity of the mixture. Concentration
can be expressed in various units depending on
the context.
MOLARITY SAMPLE PROBLEMS
Problem:
You have 0.5 moles of sodium chloride (NaCl) dissolved in 2 liters of water.
Calculate the molarity of the solution.

Answer:
The molarity of the solution is 0.25 M.
MOLARITY SAMPLE PROBLEMS
You need to prepare 0.6 moles of sulfuric acid (H2​SO4​) solution with a molarity of
0.4 M. What volume of water should be used?

Answer:
1.5 LITERS OF WATER IS NEEDED.
MOLARITY SAMPLE PROBLEMS
PROBLEM:
Calculate the molarity of a solution that contains 0.5 moles of sodium chloride
(NaCl) in 250 mL of solution.
IN THIS CASE, WE HAVE 0.5 MOLES OF NACL AND THE VOLUME OF THE
SOLUTION IS 250 ML. TO FIND THE MOLARITY, WE NEED TO CONVERT
THE VOLUME TO LITERS (1 L = 1000 ML):

ANSWER:
THEREFORE, THE MOLARITY OF THE SOLUTION IS 2.0M
