Molarity calculator (C = n / V)

Molar concentration, amount of substance or volume of a solution, by C = n / V.

Parameters

Known quantities
Amount of substance (n)
Solution volume (V)
Molar concentration (c)

Result

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.
