Solution

  • Molarity is a measure of concentration and is defined as the number of moles of solute present per unit volume of the solution.
  • Molarity is mathematically defined as:
    Molarity=NumberofmolesofsoluteVolumeofsolutioninlitre
  • As the number of moles of solute is measured in mol and the volume of solution will be in litre(L). So, the unit of molarity is molL-1.
  • The unit of molarity is also represented by 'M'.

Hence, the unit of molarity is molL-1 or M.
