Molarity From Density Calculator
This molarity from density calculator converts the density and purity of a liquid reagent into molar concentration. Enter the density (g/mL), purity percentage (%), and molar mass (g/mol) to compute molarity. Essential for working with concentrated liquid acids and bases.
Molarity From Density Calculator
Density × Purity → Molarity
M = (density × 1000 × purity%) / MW What is Molarity From Density?
Molarity from density calculates the molar concentration of a pure or concentrated liquid chemical from its physical density and purity. This is how you determine the molarity of reagent bottles that list density and assay percentage.
The formula converts volume-based density (g/mL) to moles/L using the molar mass. For impure solutions, the purity percentage adjusts for the actual solute fraction.
This calculation is standard for concentrated acids (H₂SO₄, HCl, HNO₃) and bases (NaOH, NH₃) that are supplied as liquids with known density and purity on the label.

FAQs
How do you convert density to molarity?
Molarity = (density × 1000 × purity fraction) ÷ molar mass. For pure substances, purity = 1.
What is the molarity of pure water?
Density of water ≈ 1 g/mL, molar mass = 18.015 g/mol. M = 1000/18.015 ≈ 55.5 M.
Does temperature affect density-based molarity?
Yes. Density changes with temperature, so molarity calculated from density also varies with temperature.
What units does the Molarity From Density Calculator support?
The molarity from density calculator supports mass units (g, mg, µg, kg), volume units (L, mL, µL, gal), molar mass (g/mol, kg/mol), and molarity units (M, mM, µM, nM, pM, fM, aM).
Is the Molarity From Density Calculator free to use?
Yes. The molarity from density calculator is 100% free, requires no sign-up, and works on all devices. All calculations are performed instantly in your browser.
