mole vs. M

[Stephanie Zhang 2K]

Hello, I'm not sure whether this is the right place to post it but I just had a general clarifying question. At first, I thought that moles and M were the same thing, so I'm a little confused. Does M represent mol•L^-1?

[Lea Baskin Monk 1F]

Yes, M indicates molarity (mol•L^-1) and mol indicates moles.

[Chem_Mod]

Moles are typically written out as moles or mol.

M is used to designate molarity, which is defined as .

[Samiha Molla 3G]

M represents molarity, so the units are mol/L like you said. Moles are often written as mol, so the molarity is the amount of moles per liter of solution.

[AmyHo2K]

M is molarity or moles per liter.

[Tiao Tan 3C]

You're right M means is molarity and represents moles per Liter.

[Faith St Amant 3D]

yes, so when you see that a solution is 4M, that means that it has 4 moles of solute per liter of solvent and you would call the solution a 4 molar solution.

Hey, I am trying to create a new post because I had a question about the Sapling HW. However, I do not see an option to create a new post for me. I can only reply to other posts. Could someone please tell me how to create a new topic? It would be nice if someone could upload a screenshot of their page and showed which button to press! Thank you!!

[Megan ODonnell 3F]

Yes, M refers to molarity which is mole/volume

[SahajDole_1C]

Yes M is mol * L^-1

[Hailey Kang 2K]

Hi!

M refers to molarity which is the same thing as mol/L

[Sukhkiran Kaur 3I]

Yes M represents molarity while a mole is just a mole!

[Ryan Agcaoili 2E]

Mol is different from M because M is used to measure concentration in the units M * L^-1.

[Jordan Tatang 3L]

yup M is molarity which is mol/L

[Katie Phan 1K]

M is molarity. Moles will be referred to as mol or moles.

[Nayra Gharpetian 3F]

M is concentration in mol/L. moles will be expressed as mol or mole

Hello! To create a new post you have to click the board index button at the top of the screen, it’s located right about the blue like button and it has a little house icon. Once you click that you can scroll towards the bottom and there you will see the general topics under 14B and once you click one you can choose a more specific topic that corresponds to what you’re going to post and then once you click that you should see an icon at the top that says new post! Hope this helps!
