Molarity is the concentration of a given solution in moles #dm^-3#

Explanation:

Molarity is the concentration of a given solution in moles #dm^-3#

you can find concentration or molarity from the following equation:
where

  1. n = number of moles
  2. c = concentration expressed in moles #dm^-3#
  3. v is volume usually in #cm^3#

#c = n/v# so long as your volume is converted into #dm3# you can do this by dividing v by 1000 first, before using the equation

#"A measure of concentration....."#

Explanation:

By definition, #"molarity"="moles of solute"/"volume of solution"#...and thus it has units of #mol*L^-1#
