6.1: Calculating Molarity (Problems)

Flashcards covering vocabulary terms related to calculating molarity.

Dilution

The number of moles always stays the same in a dilution. The concentration and the volumes change in a dilution.

Molarity

The two samples contain the same proportion of moles of salt to liters of solution, but have different numbers of actual moles.

Molarity (M)

The concentration of a solution expressed as the number of moles of solute per liter of solution.

Concentration

A measure of the amount of solute that is dissolved in a given amount of solvent or solution.

Solute

A substance dissolved in another substance, known as a solvent.

Solvent

A substance that dissolves a solute, resulting in a solution.

Dilution

The process of reducing the concentration of a solute in a solution, usually simply by mixing with more solvent.
