Here is the problem: 0.2 mol of solute is dissolved to make 100 mL of solution. What is the molarity?

2
00:00:07.613 --> 00:00:11.247
Molarity is moles of solute per litre of solution.

3
00:00:12.047 --> 00:00:13.835
Convert the volume to litres.

4
00:00:14.285 --> 00:00:16.491
Molarity is moles per litre.

5
00:00:17.291 --> 00:00:20.449
So the answer is M equals 2 mol/L.

6
00:00:20.899 --> 00:00:34.007
Molarity (mol/L, written M) uses the volume of the whole solution, not of the solvent alone. To make a solution, weigh the solute, dissolve it in less solvent, then top up to the final volume.

00:00:34.807 --> 00:00:40.844
n equals MV: 2 times 0.1 equals 0.2 mol, which checks out.
