'''Molar concentration''' (also called '''molarity''', '''amount concentration''' or '''substance concentration''') is the number of moles of solute per liter of solution.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Dictionary.com {{!}} Meanings & Definitions of English Words |url=https://www.dictionary.com/browse/molarity |access-date=2025-05-15 |website=Dictionary.com |language=en}}</ref> Specifically, It is a measure of the [[concentration]] of a [[chemical species]], in particular, of a [[solute]] in a [[Solution (chemistry)|solution]], in terms of [[amount of substance]] per unit [[volume]] of solution. In [[chemistry]], the most commonly used unit for molarity is the number of [[Mole (unit)|moles]] per [[liter]], having the unit symbol mol/L or [[Mole (unit)|mol]]/[[Decimetre|dm]]<sup>3</sup> (1000&nbsp;mol/[[Cubic metre|m<sup>3</sup>]]) in SI units. A solution with a concentration of 1&nbsp;mol/L is said to be 1&nbsp;'''molar''', commonly designated as 1&nbsp;M or 1&nbsp;<u>M</u>. Molarity is often depicted with square brackets around the substance of interest; for example, the molarity of the hydrogen ion is depicted as [H<sup>+</sup>].
