Volume from Molarity and Moles:
From: | To: |
The equation V = n/M calculates the volume of solution needed to achieve a specific molar concentration from a given amount of substance. It's fundamental in chemistry for preparing solutions with precise concentrations.
The calculator uses the equation:
Where:
Explanation: The equation shows that volume is directly proportional to the amount of substance and inversely proportional to the desired concentration.
Details: Accurate volume calculation is essential for preparing standard solutions, performing dilutions, and conducting quantitative chemical analysis.
Tips: Enter amount of substance in moles and desired molarity in mol/L. Both values must be positive numbers.
Q1: What if I need to prepare a specific volume?
A: Rearrange the equation to calculate required moles: n = M × V. Then weigh the appropriate amount of solute.
Q2: How precise should my measurements be?
A: For analytical work, use volumetric flasks and analytical balances. Precision depends on your application requirements.
Q3: Does temperature affect the calculation?
A: Temperature affects solution volume (thermal expansion) but not the number of moles. Standard temperature is 25°C.
Q4: Can I use this for non-aqueous solutions?
A: Yes, the equation applies to any solvent, but ensure your solute is completely dissolved and stable in the solvent.
Q5: How do I convert from grams to moles?
A: Use the formula n = mass/molar mass. You'll need to know the molecular weight of your compound.
