What are the different ways of expressing concentration of solution?

Concentration is usually expressed in moles per liter, which is called molarity. You could also use moles per mL and other measures of volume. It is also possible to convert this to any measurement of mass/volume (such as grams per liter, milligrams per liter, etc) Molarity. which is Moles/Liter. molarity is expressed as captial m. (M) so if you have 15 M HCl(aq) it is MUCH more concentrated than 5 M HCl(aq)
