The volume formula \( V = \frac{n}{M} \) calculates the volume of a solution in liters when you know the amount of substance (in moles) and the molarity (in moles per liter).
The calculator uses the volume formula:
Where:
Explanation: This formula is derived from the definition of molarity, which is moles of solute per liter of solution.
Details: Calculating volume from moles and molarity is essential in chemistry for preparing solutions with specific concentrations, which is crucial for experiments, industrial processes, and medical applications.
Tips: Enter the amount of substance in moles and the molarity in mol/L. Both values must be positive numbers.
Q1: What is molarity?
A: Molarity (M) is a measure of concentration defined as the number of moles of solute per liter of solution.
Q2: Can this formula be used for any solution?
A: Yes, this formula applies to any solution where you know the amount of solute in moles and the molar concentration.
Q3: What if I have the concentration in other units?
A: You'll need to convert to mol/L first. For example, mmol/L needs to be divided by 1000 to get mol/L.
Q4: How precise should my measurements be?
A: The precision depends on your application. For most laboratory work, 4 significant figures is typically sufficient.
Q5: Can I calculate moles if I know volume and molarity?
A: Yes, you can rearrange the formula to \( n = M \times V \) to find the amount of substance.
