What is Molarity Calculator?
Calculates the molar concentration of a chemical solution: Molarity (M) = Moles of Solute / Liters of Solution.
How to Use This Calculator
- Enter solute mass in grams.
- Enter solute molecular weight (g/mol).
- Enter final solution volume in mL.
- Read molarity in mol/L.
The Mathematical Formula & Variables
Molarity (M) = (Mass / Molecular Weight) / (Volume in mL / 1000)
Step-by-Step Worked Example
Scenario: Dissolving 58.44 g NaCl (MW 58.44 g/mol) in 1,000 mL water.
- Moles = 58.44 / 58.44 = 1.00 mol.
- Volume in L = 1,000 / 1,000 = 1.0 L.
- Molarity = 1.00 / 1.0 = 1.00 M.
Result: 1.000 M
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between molarity and molality?
Molarity (M) is moles of solute per liter of solution. Molality (m) is moles of solute per kilogram of solvent.
