Key Formula & Conditions

Learning model

Molarity is c = n / V, using amount n in moles and total solution volume V in litres. When starting from mass m and molar mass M, first calculate n = m / M.

Formula and example

Molarity is c = n / V, using amount n in moles and total solution volume V in litres. When starting from mass m and molar mass M, first calculate n = m / M.

n = m / M; c = n / V

n = 0.025 mol, V = 250 mL = 0.25 L → c = 0.1 mol/L

  • NaCl 5.844g / 500mL5.844 g ÷ 58.44 g/mol = 0.1000 mol → 0.2000 mol/L
  • NaCl 1.461g / 250mL1.461 g ÷ 58.44 g/mol = 0.0250 mol → 0.1000 mol/L
  • From 5 mmol / 100mL5 mmol = 0.005 mol ÷ 0.100 L → 0.050 mol/L

Common mistakes

  • 250 mL is 0.25 L. Treating an mL value as litres causes a factor-of-1000 error.
  • Use the total volume of solution after dissolving the solute, not the volume of solvent alone.

Check the assumptions

Use the total solution volume, not solvent volume. Volume depends on temperature. When starting from mass, supply the molar mass matching the compound and its hydration state.

FAQ

How do mol/L and mmol/L relate?

1 mol/L equals 1000 mmol/L. Therefore 0.1 mol/L is 100 mmol/L.

Can I enter mass percent directly?

No. Mass fraction alone does not determine solution volume; you also need information such as density.

Are results exact?

Results use floating-point approximations, displayed to at most 10 significant digits. Measurement significant figures and uncertainty are not inferred.

Are inputs saved?

Inputs and results are not sent to a server or saved. They disappear when you leave the page.
