Molar concentration
Use solution volume in litres when the answer is in mol/L.
The key idea
Use solution volume in litres when the answer is in mol/L.
c = n/V
Worked examples
A solution contains 8 mol of solute in a final solution volume of 10 L. Find concentration in mol/L as a fraction or decimal.
8/10 = 4/5
4/5 mol/L
A solution contains 24 mol of solute in a final solution volume of 19 L. Find concentration in mol/L as a fraction or decimal.
24/19 = 24/19
24/19 mol/L
Try it yourself
A solution contains 33 mol of solute in a final solution volume of 6 L. Find concentration in mol/L as a fraction or decimal.
A solution contains 19 mol of solute in a final solution volume of 3 L. Find concentration in mol/L as a fraction or decimal.

Answers and marking notes
- 11/2 mol/L
33/6 = 11/2
- 19/3 mol/L
19/3 = 19/3
