What is the correct definition of molarity?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Moles of solute per litre of solution
Molarity is defined as the amount of solute, in moles, divided by the total volume of the solution in litres: M = moles of solute / volume of solution in L. For example, dissolving 1 mole of solute and making the final solution volume 1 L gives a 1 M solution. Option B counts solvent, while C and D describe different mass-based ratios, not molarity.
