Here is the problem: 5.844 g of NaCl is dissolved in water to make 100 mL of solution. What is the molarity?

2
00:00:09.680 --> 00:00:13.302
Molarity is moles of solute per litre of solution.

3
00:00:14.102 --> 00:00:15.867
Molar mass of NaCl.

4
00:00:16.317 --> 00:00:18.012
Convert grams to moles.

5
00:00:18.462 --> 00:00:20.308
Convert the volume to litres.

6
00:00:20.758 --> 00:00:23.115
Molarity is moles per litre.

7
00:00:23.915 --> 00:00:27.421
So the answer is M equals 1 mol/L.

8
00:00:27.871 --> 00:00:40.688
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
00:00:41.488 --> 00:00:47.734
n equals MV: 1 times 0.1 equals 0.1 mol, which checks out.
