Meaning
Molarity is the units of concentration of a solution.
About Molarity
- Molarity is shortened with an upper case M.
- 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.
- 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).
