00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:08.870
Here is the problem: 3.646 g of HCl is dissolved in water to make 1000 mL of solution. What is the molarity?

2
00:00:09.320 --> 00:00:12.919
Molarity is moles of solute per litre of solution.

3
00:00:13.719 --> 00:00:15.310
Molar mass of HCl.

4
00:00:15.760 --> 00:00:17.397
Convert grams to moles.

5
00:00:17.847 --> 00:00:19.647
Convert the volume to litres.

6
00:00:20.097 --> 00:00:22.361
Molarity is moles per litre.

7
00:00:23.161 --> 00:00:29.825
So the answer is M equals 0.100005 mol/L.

8
00:00:30.275 --> 00:00:43.766
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.

9
00:00:44.566 --> 00:00:55.421
n equals MV: 0.100005 times 1 equals 0.100005 mol, which checks out.
