 MOLARITY
Another way of expressing concentration, is
called Molarity.
Molarity is the number of moles of solute
dissolved in one litre of solution.
Rather than writing out moles per litre, these
units are abbreviated as M or M.
 FORMULA FOR MOLARITY
moles of solute
M
litre of solution
 THOU SHANT FORGET
Formula on how to get the Molarity

How to convert grams to moles and vice versa

How to convert L to mL

How to get the mass of the elements or the

compound
 EXAMPLE #1
What is the molarity of a solution made by
dissolving 160 g of NaOH in a 300 mL of
solution?

Given:
160 g of NaOH = mass of solute
300 mL = volume of solution
Missing:
? = Molarity of the solution
 SOLUTION TO EXAMPLE #1
1. Convert 160 g of NaOH to moles.
1 mole of NaOH = 40 g of NaOH

1 mol of NaOH
160 g NaOH 4 mol of NaOH
40 g of NaOH

2. Convert 300 mL to liters.

1L
300 mL 0.3 L
1000 mL
 SOLUTION TO EXAMPLE #1
3. Substitute to the formula.

moles of solute 4 mol of NaOH

M 13.33 M NaOH
L of solution 0.3 L of solution
 EXAMPLE #2
How many grams of sodium chloride are
required to prepare 600 mL of 3 M NaCl
solution?

Given:
3 M = Molarity
600 mL = volume of solution
Missing:
? = Mass of NaCl
 SOLUTION TO EXAMPLE #2
1. Covert three moles of NaCl to grams.
1 mole of NaCl = 58 g of NaCl
58 g of NaCl
3 mol of NaCl 174 g of NaCl
1 mol of NaCl
2. Since there are 174 g of NaCl in a 1 L solution, find the
mass of NaCl in a 600 mL solution.

174 g of NaCl
600 mL 104.4 g of NaCl
1000 mL
 EXERCISE
1. What is the molarity of a solution prepared by
dissolving 15.0 g of sodium hydroxide in enough
water to make a total of 225 mL of solution?

2. How many moles of salt are contained

in 300 mL of a 0.40 M NaCl solution?

3. How many grams of sodium chloride would you

need to get 400 mL of 1.20 M solution of sodium
chloride?
 ANSWERS
1. 1.67 M of NaOH

2. 0.12 moles of NaCl

3. 27.84 g of NaCl
