Chemistry; Unit 9

Introduction to Molarity

Lesson 1

Prescription drugs in the correct concentration make you better.In higher concentration they can kill you.

Chemists need to make solutions that have precise concentrations

Pesticides must be in proper concentrations.

Food additives must be in correct concentrations.

A driver is legally impaired at 0.08 mg/mL blood alcohol content.

Chemists control the concentration of chemicals using the concepts we will develop in this unit.

The concentration of a solution tells you how much solute that is dissolved in a given amount of solvent (water).

The molarity is the concentration of a solution.

Molarity = MolesLiter

1. 2.255 moles of NaCl is dissolved in 4.0 L of water, calculate the molarity.

The concentration of a solution tells you how much solute that is dissolved in a given amount of solute (water).

The molarity is the concentration of a solution.

Molarity = MolesLiter

1. 2.255 moles of NaCl is dissolved in 4.0 L of water, calculate the molarity.

Molarity = 2.255 moles4.0 L

The concentration of a solution tells you how much solute that is dissolved in a given amount of solute (water).

The molarity is the concentration of a solution.

Molarity = MolesLiter

1. 2.255 moles of NaCl is dissolved in 4.0 L of water, calculate the molarity.Molarity = 2.255 moles

4.0 L

= 0.56 moles/liter

= 0.56 M (Molar)where M means moles per 1 liter
