Understanding Molarity
Molarity (M) expresses the amount of solute (in moles) per litre of solution and is the concentration unit most commonly used in analytical chemistry [1].
The core relationship is
mass (g) = M (mol L-1) × volume (L) × molecular weight (g mol-1)
,
which lets you move cleanly between mass, molarity and volume
[2].
Laboratory suppliers such as Sigma-Aldrich provide preparation guides and calculators that align with these definitions and serve as an external cross-check [3].
