In these series of videos, we're going to take a look at the concept of molarity. Now molarity itself is represented by the variable M and in class you'll hear molarity and concentration sometimes being used interchangeably. Remember, concentration represents the amount of given solute within a certain amount of solution.
Now molarity is more specific. Molarity represents the number of moles of solute per liter of solution and with this we have our molarity formula. So molarity which is capital M equals moles of solute over liters of solution.
Now that we have a more fleshed out idea of what concentration is through molarity, let's take a look at some problems or asked to calculate molarity, or to look at the components that help to make molarity.
M = moles of solute liters of solution
