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 a 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.
M = moles of solute liters of solutionNow that we have a more fleshed out idea of what concentration is through molarity, let's take a look at some problems or ask to calculate molarity or to look at the components that help to make molarity.
