Question

What is a measurement of the amount of solute that is dissolved in a given quantity of solvent usually expressed as mol/L?

Answer 1

Molarity

Explanation:

If you're simply asking what the name of this concentration measurement is, it's called molarity.

The molarity (symbol `M`) of a solution is also called its (aptly named) "molar concentration", the number of moles of solute in one liter of the solution:

`M = "mol solute"/"L soln"`

You work with molar concentrations in various situations, such as calculating dilutions and finding other types of concentration, such as molality and density.
