X-Message-Number: 3893 From: (Brian Wowk) Newsgroups: sci.cryonics Subject: Re: glycerol questions Date: 22 Feb 1995 19:34:27 GMT Message-ID: <3ig3k3$> References: <> <> Molarity is defined as the number of moles of solute in one liter of solution. One liter of pure glycerol contains 13.7 moles of glycerol. Therefore the molarity of a glycerol/water solution is given by volume of gylercol X 13.7 ------------------------- volume of glycerol + volume of water A 15% solution of glycerol by volume is therefore 0.15 * 13.7/ (0.15 + 0.85) = 2 Molar ---Brian Wowk Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=3893
