==Key Stage 3==
===Meaning===
[[Molarity]] is the a[[unit]]s of [[concentration]] of a [[solution]]s.
===About Molarity===
: The [[molarity]] of [[Stomach Acid]] is around 0.16 '''Molar''' (0.16M).
: The [[molarity]] of [[Battery Acid]] can be as much as 5.2 '''Molar''' (5.2M).
 
==Key Stage 4==
===Meaning===
[[Molarity]] is a [[unit]] of [[concentration]] of [[solution]]s in mol/dm<sup>3</sup>.
 
===About Molarity===
: [[Molarity]] is shortened with an upper case '''M'''.
: [[Molarity]] is the [[ratio]] of the number of [[mole]]s of a [[solute]] to the [[Volume (Space)|volume]] of [[solvent]].
: When [[molarity]] is used to describe a [[solution]] it may be referred to as '''molar''', eg. a 0.5 '''molar''' [[solution]] of [[Sodium Chloride]].
: Bottles containing [[acid]] and [[alkali]] usually have their [[Molarity]] stated on the side. The more [[concentrated]] the higher the [[molarity]].
 
===Equation===
'' '''concentration (mol/dm<sup>3</sup>)''' '' = <math>\frac{Moles (mol)}{volume (dm^3)}</math>
 
Where:
: Moles = The number of [[mole]]s of the [[solute]]. Found by dividing the [[mass]] in [[gram]]s by the [[Relative Formula Mass|relative formula mass]].
: volume = The [[Volume (Space)|volume]] of [[solvent]].
