Here is the problem: 2 mol of solute is dissolved to make 1000 mL of solution. What is the molarity?

2
00:00:07.857 --> 00:00:11.433
Molarity is moles of solute per litre of solution.

3
00:00:12.233 --> 00:00:14.033
Convert the volume to litres.

4
00:00:14.483 --> 00:00:16.759
Molarity is moles per litre.

5
00:00:17.559 --> 00:00:21.007
So the answer is M equals 2 mol/L.

6
00:00:21.457 --> 00:00:34.646
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 1 equals 2 mol, which checks out.
