Here is the problem: 0.3 mol of solute is dissolved to make 150 mL of solution. What is the molarity?

2
00:00:08.832 --> 00:00:12.350
Molarity is moles of solute per litre of solution.

3
00:00:13.150 --> 00:00:14.892
Convert the volume to litres.

4
00:00:15.342 --> 00:00:17.652
Molarity is moles per litre.

5
00:00:18.452 --> 00:00:21.912
So the answer is M equals 2 mol/L.

6
00:00:22.362 --> 00:00:35.168
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.

n equals MV: 2 times 0.15 equals 0.3 mol, which checks out.
