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.
