Reference Tools for Precision in the Lab

Understanding the fundamental principles of chemical measurements is crucial for accurate experimentation and production. Avantor provides reference tools to support your work with essential calculations:

  • Molarity: Molarity (M) measures the concentration of a solute in a solution in moles per liter. Formula: M=Moles of soluteLiters of solutionM = \frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{Liters of solution}}M=Liters of solutionMoles of solute​.
  • Molality: Molality (m) calculates the concentration of a solute in moles per kilogram of solvent. Formula: m=Moles of soluteKilograms of solventm = \frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{Kilograms of solvent}}m=Kilograms of solventMoles of solute​.
  • Normality: Normality (N) represents the molar concentration times equivalents per mole. Formula: N=M×equivalentsmolN = M \times \frac{\text{equivalents}}{\text{mol}}N=M×molequivalents​.
  • Percentage Composition: Percentage composition can be expressed in mass, volume, or mass per volume.
    • % by mass (w/w): =(Mass of soluteMass of solution)×100= \left(\frac{\text{Mass of solute}}{\text{Mass of solution}}\right) \times 100=(Mass of solutionMass of solute​)×100.
    • % by volume (v/v): =(Volume of soluteVolume of solution)×100= \left(\frac{\text{Volume of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution}}\right) \times 100=(Volume of solutionVolume of solute​)×100.
    • % by mass/volume (w/v): =(Mass of soluteVolume of solution)×100= \left(\frac{\text{Mass of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution}}\right) \times 100=(Volume of solutionMass of solute​)×100.
  • Density: Density measures the mass per unit of volume, typically expressed in grams per milliliter (g/mL). Formula: Density=mv\text{Density} = \frac{m}{v}Density=vm​.

Avantor Chemicals is dedicated to supporting the scientific community with reliable and high-quality chemical products that drive innovation and discovery. From research to large-scale manufacturing, our solutions empower professionals to achieve their goals and push the boundaries of what’s possible.
