Ionic Concentration Calculator

Formula

To calculate the Ionic Concentration:

$C = \frac{n}{V}$

Where:

$C$ is the ionic concentration (mol/L)
$n$ is the amount of solute (mol)
$V$ is the volume of the solution (L)

Ionic Concentration Definition

Ionic concentration refers to the amount of ions in a particular volume of a solution. Ions are atoms or molecules that have lost or gained electrons, resulting in a positive or negative charge. The concentration is usually measured in moles per liter, a unit that represents the number of ions in a liter of solution.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Amount of Solute ( $n$ ) = 0.5 mol
Volume of Solution ( $V$ ) = 1 L

Using the formula:

$C = \frac{0.5}{1} = 0.5$

The ionic concentration is 0.5 mol/L.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Amount of Solute ( $n$ ) = 1 mol
Volume of Solution ( $V$ ) = 2 L

Using the formula:

$C = \frac{1}{2} = 0.5$

The ionic concentration is 0.5 mol/L.
