Question

What is molarity? *the ratio of grams of solute to liters of solution *the ratio of moles of solute to milliliters of solution *the ratio of moles of solute to liters of solution *the ratio of grams of solute to milliliters of solution

Answer 1

*the ratio of moles of solute to liters of solution

Answer 2

the ratio of moles of solute to liters of solution

Step-by-step explanation:

molarity = moles of solute / liter of the solution

1 molarity (M) of a solution means 1 mole of a solute is dissolved in 1 liter (L) of the solution.

*the ratio of moles of solute to milliliters of solution : This option is incorrect. Molarity = 1 mole of a solute is dissolved in 1 liter (L) or 1000 milliliters (ml) of the solution.

*the ratio of grams of solute to liters of solution: This option is incorrect. As molarity requires moles of solute not grams of solute.

*the ratio of grams of solute to milliliters of solution: This option is incorrect. As molarity requires 1 liter not milliliters (ml) of the solution.
