What is molarity

What is molarity?

It is the most broadly utilized unit and is indicated by M. Molarity is characterized as the quantity of moles of the solute in 1 liter of the arrangement.Thus,
Molarity (M)=No. of moles of solute  
 Volume of solution in litre

Example,
1) 5 moles of solute present in 500ml of solution,what is molarity?
Answer- Molarity (M)= 5 moles
                                            0.5 ltr
                                       = 5 × 10
                                               5
                                       = 10M
(Explained, 500 ml solutions means in litre is 0.5 ltr.)

Calculation of Molarity

For example,
1) 80 gm of NaoH present in 400 ml solution, What is Molarity?
Answer - moles of NaoH = 80 gm     
                                                40 moles
                                             = 2 moles
                       Molarity (M) = 2 moles
                                                  0.4 litre
                                               = 2×10
                                                    4
                                                = 5 M
(Explained, first we find moles of solute formula is,  moles of solute = weight of solute               )
                                     Molecular mass of solute)

Calculation for molarity

For mixing solutions, 
1) 500 ml of 1M sugar solution mix with 1 litre of 2M sugar solution?
Answer- Molarity= Total solute moles           
                                   Total volume of solution
First we find,[1] number of moles of solute
500 ml of 1M sugar solution,(A)=B× C
                                                          = 1×0.5 =0.5
 500 ml of 2M sugar solution,(A)=B×C
                                                          = 2×1= 2
 Molarity= Total solute moles           
                    Total volume of solution
                =(2+0.5) moles
                    1.5 litre
                  = 2.5
                      1.5   
                 = 1.67 M
(A= number of moles of solute, B = Molarity
 C = volume of solution in litre)

 General expression to find molarity when similar solutions are mixed=
General expression=
M1,V1,L.                  M1V1+M2V2+M3V3+---------- 
M3,V2 L Resultant V1+V2+V3+---------
M3,B3 L molarity

stoichiometry

Introduction to stoichiometry The word ‘ stoichiometry ’ is derived from two Greek words - stoicheion (meaning element) and metron (meaning measure). Stoichiometry is the study of numerical relationship between the amounts of reactants used and amounts of products formed by a chemical reaction. Stoichiometry is based on the law of conservation of mass and the mass of reactants equals the mass of the products. Why do we use this? Stoichiometry problems consist of predicting the amount of gram of product that will form from a reaction.if you know how many grams of reactants you have predicting the number of gram of reactant that will be needed to produce a certain amount of product. How can stoichiometry be used in real life? Let's we start this, stiochiometry can be used in cooking. We going start baking a butter cake, for baking a butter cake needed some ingredient like flour,butter,suger,eggs for bake a nice and tasty butter cake. all this ingredient requi...

LAWS OF CHEMICAL COMBINATIONS

  LAWS OF CHEMICAL COMBINATIONS The combination of elements to form compounds is governed by the following five basic laws. 1)  Law of Conservation of  Mass It states that matter can neither be created nor destroyed.This law was put forth by Antoine Lavoisier in 1789. He performed careful experimental studies for combustion reactions for reaching to the above conclusion. This law formed the basis for several later developments in. chemistry Infact, this was the result of exact measurement of masses of reactants and products, and carefully planned experiments performed by Lavoisier . 2)Law of  Definite Proportions This law was given by, a French chemist, Joseph Proust. He stated that a given compound always contains exactly the same proportion of elements by weight. Proust worked with two  samples of cupric carbonate— one of which was of natural origin and the other was synthetic one. He found that the composition of elements presen...

PROPERTIES OF MATTER AND THEIR MEASUREMENT

PROPERTIES OF MATTER & THEIR MEASUREMENT   Properties of matter & their measurement are divided in Physical and chemical properties . Every substance has unique or characteristic  properties. These properties can be classified  into two categories — physical properties ,  such as colour, odour, melting point, boiling point, density, etc., and chemical properties , like composition, combustibility, ractivity with acids and bases, etc.  Physical properties can be measured or observed without changing the identity or the composition of the substance. The measurement or observation of chemical properties requires a chemical change to occur. Measurement of physical properties does not require occurance of a chemical change. The examples of chemical  properties are characteristic reactions of different  substances; these include acidity or basicity,  combustibility, etc. 1)   Mea...
