Molarity symbol

Note particularly that it is liters of solution that is used, not liters of solvent. Chemists often abbreviate the definition to merely moles per liter, but the shortening does not change the way the unit is actually defined. The unit of molarity is molar, symbolized M. Special care must be taken with abbreviations in this chapter. M stands for molar mol for mole(s). (Some authors use M to stand for molarity as well as molar. They may use italics for one and not the other. Check your text and follow its convention.)... 

This definition is often shortened to moles per liter but condensing it in this way does not change the fact that it is really the number of moles of solute per liter of solution. The unit of molarity is molar, symbolized M. An italic capital M is sometimes used as a symbol for molarity note that a nonitalic capital M means molar. 

The most common unit of concentration in chemistry is molarity, defined as the number of moles of solute dissolved per liter (or cubic decimeter) of solution. It can also be defined as the number of millimoles of solute per milliliter of solution. The symbol for molarity is an italic capital M its unit is molar, symbolized M. (Some books use M for both.) Do not use lowercase letters for either We use mol as an abbreviation for mole we do not use either capital M or lowercase m.

Molar concentrations are used so frequently that a symbolic notation is often used to simplify its expression in equations and writing. The use of square brackets around a species indicates that we are referring to that species molar concentration. Thus, [Na ] is read as the molar concentration of sodium ions. ... 

The systems of interest in chemical technology are usually comprised of fluids not appreciably influenced by surface, gravitational, electrical, or magnetic effects. For such homogeneous fluids, molar or specific volume, V, is observed to be a function of temperature, T, pressure, P, and composition. This observation leads to the basic postulate that macroscopic properties of homogeneous PPIT systems at internal equiUbrium can be expressed as functions of temperature, pressure, and composition only. Thus the internal energy and the entropy are functions of temperature, pressure, and composition. These molar or unit mass properties, represented by the symbols U, and S, are independent of system size and are intensive. Total system properties, J and S do depend on system size and are extensive. Thus, if the system contains n moles of fluid, = nAf, where Af is a molar property. Temperature... 

Partial Molar Properties Consider a homogeneous fluid solution comprised of any number of chemical species. For such a PVT system let the symbol M represent the molar (or unit-mass) value of any extensive thermodynamic property of the solution, where M may stand in turn for U, H, S, and so on. A total-system property is then nM, where n = Xi/i, and i is the index identifying chemical species. One might expect the solution propei fy M to be related solely to the properties M, of the pure chemical species which comprise the solution. However, no such generally vahd relation is known, and the connection must be establi ed experimentally for eveiy specific system. 

The subscripts 1,2,3 refer to the main solvent, the polymer, and the solvent added, respectively. The meanings of the other symbols are n refractive index m molarity of respective component in solvent 1 C the concentration in g cm"3 of the solution V the partial specific volume p the chemical potential M molecular weight (for the polymer per residue). The surscript ° indicates infinite dilution of the polymer. 

Notice that the formula of a substance must be known to find its molar mass. It would be ambiguous, to say the least, to refer to the molar mass of hydrogen. One mole of hydrogen atoms, represented by the symbol H, weighs 1.008 g the molar mass of H is 1.008 g/mol. One mole of hydrogen molecules, represented by the formula H weighs 2.016 g the molar mass of H2 is 2.016 g/mol.

The symbol [ ] is commonly used to represent the molarity of a species in solution. For a solution containing 1.20 mol of substance A in 2.50 L of solution,... 

The entropy of a substance, unlike its enthalpy, can be evaluated directly. The details of how this is done are beyond the level of this text, but Figure 17.4 shows the results for one substance, ammonia. From such a plot you can read off the standard molar entropy at 1 atm pressure and any given temperature, most often 25°C. This quantity is given the symbol S° and has the units of joules per mole per kelvin (J/mol-K). From Figure 17.4, it appears that... 

The symbol used is dependent upon the method of expressing the concentration of the solution. The recommendations of the IUPAC Commision on Symbols, Terminology and Units (1969) are as follows concentration in moles per litre (molarity), activity coefficient represented by y, concentration in mols per kilogram (molality), activity coefficient represented by y, concentration expressed as mole fraction, activity coefficient represented by f... 

This is the fundamental equation of colorimetry and spectrophotometry, and is often spoken of as the Beer-Lambert Law. The value of a will clearly depend upon the method of expression of the concentration. If c is expressed in mole h 1 and / in centimetres then a is given the symbol and is called the molar absorption coefficient or molar absorptivity (formerly the molar extinction coefficient).

The quantity //, - H° is called the relative partial molar enthalpy and given the symbol L,. It is the difference between the partial molar enthalpy in the solution and the partial molar enthalpy in the standard state. That is,... 

Although many industrial reactions are carried out in flow reactors, this procedure is not often used in mechanistic work. Most experiments in the liquid phase that are carried out for that purpose use a constant-volume batch reactor. Thus, we shall not consider the kinetics of reactions in flow reactors, which only complicate the algebraic treatments. Because the reaction volume in solution reactions is very nearly constant, the rate is expressed as the change in the concentration of a reactant or product per unit time. Reaction rates and derived constants are preferably expressed with the second as the unit of time, even when the working unit in the laboratory is an hour or a microsecond. Molarity (mol L-1 or mol dm"3, sometimes abbreviated M) is the preferred unit of concentration. Therefore, the reaction rate, or velocity, symbolized in this book as v, has the units mol L-1 s-1.

The symbol m is often read molar it is not an SI unit. Note that 1 mol-L 1 is the same as 1 mmol-ml 1. Chemists working with very low concentrations of solutes also report molar concentrations as millimoles per liter (mmol-L-1) and micromoles per liter (pmol-I 1).
