Reflection on Molarity
This worksheet was done during the “Solutions” chapter of my Honors Chemistry class. The main concept of the assignment was to calculate the molarity by dividing X moles of solute by Y liters of solution. If the solute was in grams, it would need to be converted to moles; if the solution was in milliliters, I would have to convert it to liters.
From this assignment, I learned how to calculate the molarity of a solution and how to find the components of the solution if a certain one was not given (for example, if the number of liters of solution was not given). What I enjoyed in completing this assignment was that each problem did not have the same goal; the first four were to find the molarity, the next three were to find the amount of moles, eight to nine were calculating the amount of grams, and the final four were finding the volume. This way, the work being done was kept somewhat fresh. There is nothing I would change about this assignment or what I did on it.
This proves my mastery of this ESLR because completion of this assignment meant my achievement of learning how to calculate molarity. The only help given was the equation on how to find molarity, and the rest was up to my knowledge and ability to plug in the numbers in the right places to achieve the answer and memorize how to solve the problem in case it were to appear in the future.
