Concentration Formula:
| From: | To: |
Concentration calculation determines the amount of solute dissolved in a given volume of solvent. It's a fundamental concept in chemistry used to express the strength of a solution.
The calculator uses the basic concentration formula:
Where:
Explanation: This formula calculates molar concentration, which is the number of moles of solute per liter of solution.
Details: Concentration calculations are essential for preparing solutions in laboratories, pharmaceutical formulations, chemical reactions, and various industrial processes where precise concentrations are required.
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 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 are other concentration units?
A: Other common units include molality (mol/kg), mass percentage (%), parts per million (ppm), and normality (N).
Q4: When is this calculation used?
A: This calculation is used in preparing standard solutions, dilution calculations, stoichiometry problems, and chemical analysis.
Q5: What if my volume is in mL instead of L?
A: Convert mL to L by dividing by 1000 (since 1 L = 1000 mL) before using the calculator.
