How to use the Molarity Calculator

The Molarity Calculator works out your molarity (mol/l) in an instant. Enter moles of solute and solution volume and the result updates as you type — it is free, needs no sign-up, and runs entirely in your browser so your figures stay private.

  1. Enter the moles of solute.
  2. Enter the solution volume.
  3. Read off your molarity (mol/l) — the calculator updates automatically, with no button to press.

Formula

The Molarity Calculator uses the formula:

Molarity (mol/L) = Moles of solute ÷ Solution volume

Worked example

For example, with moles of solute of 0.5 mol and solution volume of 2 L, the molarity (mol/l) is 0.2500.

Inputs used
Moles of solute 0.5 mol
Solution volume 2 L
Results
Molarity (mol/L) 0.2500

Key terms explained

Molarity
The concentration of a solution in moles of solute per litre of solution.
Volume
The amount of three-dimensional space an object occupies, measured in cubic units.

Frequently asked questions

Molarity is the concentration of a solution in moles of solute per litre of solution: M = moles ÷ volume. 0.5 mol in 2 litres is 0.25 mol/L.

Divide the mass of solute by its molar mass. Then divide by the solution volume in litres to get molarity.

Molarity is in moles per litre (mol/L), often written as M. A 0.25 M solution has 0.25 moles of solute per litre.

No. Molarity uses the volume of the solution, while molality uses the mass of the solvent in kilograms.

The Molarity Calculator uses the formula: Molarity (mol/L) = Moles of solute ÷ Solution volume. For example, with moles of solute of 0.5 mol and solution volume of 2 L, the molarity (mol/l) is 0.2500.
