Molarity, abbreviated as \(M\), is a way to express the concentration of a solution in chemistry. It is defined as the number of moles of a dissolved substance (called the solute) present in one liter of solution. Molarity is commonly written with the unit \(M\), where 1 \(M\) means 1 mole of solute per liter of solution. This measurement is widely used because it directly relates the amount of substance to the volume of the solution, making it useful for calculations in chemical reactions, laboratory preparations, and dilution problems.
