Awaiting the quantities required for the calculation.
Calculation, assumptions and sources
OverviewMolar concentration C, amount of substance n or volume V, each from the other two by C = n / V.
Molar concentration C, amount of substance n or volume V, each from the other two by C = n / V. Secondary mode: n = m / M, from the mass m and the molar mass M.
Method & formulasC = n / V
C = n / Vn = m / M
For a weighed solute, n = m / M.
- C
- molar concentration of the solution.
- n
- amount of substance, in moles.
- V
- volume of the solution.
- m, M
- mass of the solute and its molar mass (secondary mode).
Validity domainMolar concentration (mol/L) only; mass concentration (g/L) is handled by the solution preparation calculator.
Molar concentration (mol/L) only; mass concentration (g/L) is handled by the solution preparation calculator. The molar mass must be that of the form actually weighed, hydrates included.
Example0.5 mol of solute in 2 L of solution: C = 0.5 / 2 = 0.25 mol/L.
0.5 mol of solute in 2 L of solution: C = 0.5 / 2 = 0.25 mol/L.
