Understanding Molarity and Solution Concentration

What does molarity measure in a solution?

• The number of moles of solute per liter of solvent

• The weight of the solute in grams

• The density of the solution

• The volume of the solvent in liters

How can the molarity of a solution be determined if the mass of the solute is known?

• By converting the mass of the solute to moles and dividing by the volume of the solution

• By diluting the solution to a known volume

• By freezing the solution and measuring its volume

• By measuring the density of the solution

What is the purpose of dilution in the context of solutions?

• To change the chemical properties of the solute

• To reduce the concentration by increasing the volume of the solvent

• To decrease the volume of the solvent

• To increase the concentration of the solute

Which equation is used to calculate the new concentration after dilution?

• C₁V₁ = C₂V₂

• M₁V₁ = M₂V₂

• D₁V₁ = D₂V₂

• P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

What happens to the concentration of a solution if the volume is doubled?

• The concentration is halved

• The concentration is quadrupled

• The concentration is doubled

• The concentration remains the same
