GOAL(s):
- Define molarity
- Calculate concentrations
- Describe how to prepare a solution of a given molarity from the solute and water or by dilution of a more concentrated solution.
DEFINITIONS:
solution: a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances in a single
phase.
solute: the material dissolved in a solution.
solvent: the medium in which a solute is dissolved to form a solution.
concentration: the relative amounts of solute and solvent in a solution.
molarity (M): a concentration term equal to the moles of solute per
liter of solution.
