In an earlier post on “Chemistry: Why do I need to understand moles and molar?” (read the post) I wrote about why moles and molar are important. James said in the comments: “Hey I still don’t understand why we use the Molarity equation…???????????” – so….

In two earlier posts (Calculating Molarity I and Calculating Molarity II) I looked at moles, and how they are calculated, and how molarity can be worked out. However, one thing I didn’t discuss was why do we need to understand moles and molarity?

Units can be tricky. It is difficult to remember if 10^-6 is micro (µM) or milli-molar (mM). How do I convert between µM and mM? What is a nano-mole? And how many femto-moles are there in a pico-mole? These things can be tricky. chemCal, a basic chemistry calculator for the iPhone and iPod Touch, can help. But you still need an understanding….

In two previous posts (Chemistry: Calculating Molarity I and Chemistry: Calculating Molarity II) I looked at calculating concentrations in the terms of Molarity (molar), however, scientists also use a slightly different way of expressing concentrations – the percentage concentration.

In an earlier post I talked about what a mole is in chemistry. You need to understand what a mole of substance is before you can understand concentrations and how to make up a molar solution.

So, how do you calculate the molarity of a solution? What is molarity? Come to that, what is a mole? (And I don’t mean the small furry kind that leaves hills in the middle of your lawn…)
