How to use
Molarity is the number of moles of solute per liter of final solution volume, one of the most common concentration units in chemistry.
- Enter solute moles.
- Enter final solution volume in liters.
- Calculate M.
- Review mol/L and mmol/L.
How it is calculated
M=n/V
Example
0.5 mol in a final volume of 1 L gives 0.5 M = 500 mmol/L.
Important notes
If starting from mass, convert grams to moles first using the correct molar mass.
Frequently asked questions
Is V the solvent volume?
No, final solution volume.
M units?
mol/L.
Can moles be zero?
Yes, giving zero concentration for positive volume.
