Molarity Calculator

Calculate mass, final solution volume, concentration or stock dilution.

Mass from concentration & volume

m = C × V × MW · C in mol/L, V in L, m in g, MW in g/mol.

Enter the required values to calculate. All quantities must be greater than zero.

Load Example uses illustrative NaCl data (MW 58.44 g/mol); dilution uses a 1 M stock.

How it works

Molar concentration is the amount of solute per final solution volume. Convert mass to moles using molecular weight before calculating concentration. Stock dilution conserves the amount of solute.

Formula: M = n / V; n = m / MW; C₁V₁ = C₂V₂. Use m in g, MW in g/mol, n in mol and V in L for concentration in mol/L.

Worked example: 100 mM NaCl in 100 mL: (0.100 mol/L) × (0.100 L) × (58.44 g/mol) = 0.5844 g = 584.4 mg. Dissolve, then adjust to 100 mL final volume.
