  • Calculate Molarity: Solution Concentration Explained (NaOH Example)
    Here's how to calculate the molarity:

    Understanding Molarity

    Molarity (M) is a unit of concentration that represents the number of moles of solute dissolved in 1 liter of solution.

    Formula

    Molarity (M) = moles of solute / liters of solution

    Applying the Information

    * Moles of solute (NaOH): 4 mol

    * Liters of solution: 2 L (Since we're assuming the volume of the solution is approximately the same as the volume of water)

    Calculation

    Molarity (M) = 4 mol / 2 L = 2 M

    Therefore, the molarity of the solution is 2 M.
