Chapter 5-4 Flashcards
1
Q
How is molarity defined?
What is the formula?
A
the amount of solute in mols divided by the amout of solution
M = moles of solute (mol)/liter of solution (L)
2
Q
What is the unit M stand for?
A
molar
3
Q
Equation to solve for moles of solute
A
moles of solute = M (molarity) x V (volume)
4
Q
equation to solve for the volume of a solution regarding moles and molarity
A
V = moles of solute/M (molarity)
5
Q
What metric unit is used to express volume when working with molarity?
A
Liters
6
Q
what is the unit of molarity?
A
mol/L
7
Q
how is mols/L usually represented?
A
M
8
Q
What are levels of nutrients in biological fluids or bloodstream expressed in?
A
molarity
9
Q
why is molarity used?
A
because the amount of solute in a solution is generally too large of a number to work with
