Molarity, Dilutions, and Solutions The major unit of concentration in chemistry is molarity . I once worked for an excellent chemist.
Chemistry uses a unit of concentration called molarity .
It is a measure of how much of a specific component is dissolved in a solution. The word solute is the chemical name for the stuff dissolved. Like all units of concentration, a statement of concentration does not specify an amount of solution . How much do I have. OK so now that you can differentiate units of concentrations from volumes let's again focus on the parts of the above equation.
