A lot of chemical reactions happen in a solution (it allows the chemicals to interact much more easily with each other when it is), so chemists define how much of the solute is in the solution by the term MOLARITY.


Molarity is a really convenient unit of concentration and it works like this. If I have 10 moles of solute in 10 liters of water, what’s the molarity? 10/10 = 1! So it’s a 1M solution. What if I have 20 moles in 10 liters? Then it’s a 2M solution. See how easy that is?
