Talk:Molar concentration

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I believe that the proper formula is C=\frac{N*A}{V} not C=\frac{N/A}{V} because it is moles per liter, and one mole is equal to number of molecules 8 Avogadro's number

Anyone else agree?

The original formula is correct. By your definition (which is right) C = M / V. That makes it Moles per liter. What you are therefore trying to say isM = N * A. This isn't right. The amount of moles of a substance present is a fraction of Avagadro's Number... it is hence a division. Say you have 3.01 * 10^23 molecules of a substance X, using a division will derive the correct figure of 0.5M; I hope this makes sense.
