Molarity, abbreviated as M, is a measure of the concentration of a solute in a solution. Molarity is a basic concept in chemistry and is used extensively in various calculations, including dilutions, stoichiometry, and determining reaction rates. It provides a convenient way to express the concentration of a solution in a quantitative manner.
