Molarity is defined as :

  • A.Moles of solute present in 1 liter of solution
  • B.Moles of solute present in 1 kg of solution
  • C.Number of equivalent of solute present in 1 liter of solution
  • D.Is expressed as amount of solute in (g) in 1 liter of solution

Answer: A

Molarity is the moles of solute present in 1 liter of solution.

\[ M = \frac{\text{moles of solute}}{\text{litres of solution}} \]

For example, 58.5 g of sodium chloride (one mole) made up to 1 litre of solution is a 1 M solution.

Moles of solute per kilogram is molality, and it is defined per kilogram of solvent, not solution. Equivalents of solute per litre is normality. Grams of solute per litre is a mass concentration (g/L), which ignores the molar mass and so is not molarity.
