How should I make a 1 molar solution?
A 1 molar solution is made by dissolving 1 mole of the chemical in approximately 800 mL of distilled or deionized water. This is done in a 1-liter volumetric flask. When the solid has dissolved, the flask is filled to the 1 liter mark and stirred.
Flinn Scientific has published recipes on how to make over 100 solutions for the high school science laboratory. Please consult the Flinn Scientific Catalog/Reference Manual for more information.
