The concentration formula C = n/V is a fundamental equation in chemistry that calculates the molar concentration of a solution. It represents the amount of solute (in moles) dissolved in a given volume of solvent (in liters).
The calculator uses the concentration formula:
Where:
Explanation: This formula calculates the concentration by dividing the amount of substance (in moles) by the volume of the solution (in liters).
Details: Accurate concentration calculation is essential for preparing chemical solutions, conducting experiments, pharmaceutical formulations, and industrial processes where precise concentrations are critical.
Tips: Enter the number of moles and volume in liters. Both values must be positive numbers. The calculator will compute the concentration in moles per liter (mol/L).
Q1: What is molar concentration?
A: Molar concentration (molarity) is the number of moles of a solute per liter of solution, expressed in mol/L or M.
Q2: How do I convert grams to moles?
A: Use the formula: moles = mass (g) / molar mass (g/mol). You need to know the molar mass of the substance.
Q3: What if my volume is in milliliters?
A: Convert milliliters to liters by dividing by 1000 (1 mL = 0.001 L) before using the calculator.
Q4: Can this formula be used for any solute?
A: Yes, this formula applies to any solute as long as you know the number of moles and the volume of the solution.
Q5: What are typical concentration ranges?
A: Concentrations can range from very dilute (10^-6 M) to highly concentrated (10+ M), depending on the application and solubility limits.
