Concentration, Solutes, Solvents, and Molarity
Example:
What is the molarity of the solution with 0.70 mol solute in 250 mL solution?
Molarity
The concept of molarity is explained and problems determining molarity are solved.
Example:
1. Calculate the molarity of a solution made by dissolving 5.4 g NaCl in 25 mL of solution.
2. Calculate the molarity of a solution made by dissolving 10.3 g sodium sulfate in 600 mL of solution. What is the concentration of the Na+
3. How many grams of NaOH are needed to make 400 mL of a 1.5 M solution?
Molarity/Molar Concentrations
How to calculate Molarity/Molar Concentration?
Molar concentration is the number of moles of solute that can dissolve in 1L of solution.
Molar concentration is often referred to as molarity.
Example:
1. A saline solution contains 0.9g of sodium chloride, NaCl, dissolved in 100mL of solution. What is the molar concentration of the solution?
2. At 20°C, a saturated solution of calcium sulfate, CaSO4, has a concentration of 0.0153 mol/L. A student takes 65mL of this solution and evaporates it. What mass (in g) is left in the evaporating dish?



Molarity
Examples:
1. What is the molarity of a solution that contains 6 mols of solute in 2 liters of solution?
2. How many moles are in 600mL of a 1.5M solution of CaCO3?
How to Calculate Molarity and make Solutions?
Molarity is defined as moles of solute per liters of solution.
The formula is:
M = n / V
M is molarity
n is number of moles of solute
V is volume of the solution in liters
Example:
1. What is the molarity of a 125 mL solution containing 0.050 moles of hydrochloric acid?
2. How many moles of sodium hydroxide are in 38 mL of 0.50 mol/L NaOH?
3. How much 25 mol/L sulfuric acid should you use if you need 0,12 mol H2SO4?
4. How would you make 100 mL of 0.40 M of copper(II) sulfate? Molarity
