Examples of liter in the following topics:

  • Using Molarity in Calculations of Solutions

    • In chemistry, molar concentration, or molarity, is defined as moles of solute per total liters of solution.
    • The reason for this is because one liter of solution usually contains either slightly more or slightly less than 1 liter of solvent, due to the presence of the solute.
    • What is the molarity of a solution containing 0.32 moles of NaCl in 3.4 liters of solution?
    • Molarity is a measurement of concentration, with units of mol solute per liter solution.
    • Also, molarity is a ratio that describes the moles of solute per liter of solution.
  • Concept of Osmolality and Milliequivalent

    • Solution concentration is expressed by a solution's molality, while electrolyte concentration is expressed in terms of milliequivalents per liter.
    • A solution's molarity is the number of moles of solute per liter of solution.
    • If the solvent is water, one kilogram of water is equal to one liter of water.
    • Molarity and molality represent solution concentration, but electrolyte concentrations are usually expressed in terms of milliequivalents per liter (mEq/L).
  • Complements

    • The literal complement of a pitch-class set is every pitch not included in that set.
    • Its literal complement is all of the notes not a part of it: [3,4,5,6,7,8,9,T,E].
  • Watching Out for Metaphors

    • But given our definition of an association, thus generalized—the relationship existing when one party's satisfaction is being changed by the actions of another party—we must be careful to note that we are now using terms like "action" metaphorically rather than literally.
    • Does an organization literally have goals, or does it just "act" (sometimes) as if it had goals?
    • We should be very careful not to take metaphorical language of this type too literally.
    • We should always remember that literally, organizations cannot act—only individuals can act, including acting on behalf of an organization.
    • As an example of the dangers of taking political metaphors literally, let us consider the concept of freedom applied not at the micro level but at the macro.
  • Molarity

    • In chemistry, concentration of a solution is often measured in molarity (M), which is the number of moles of solute per liter of solution.
    • A solution that contains 1 mole of solute per 1 liter of solution (1 mol/L) is called "one Molar" or 1 M.
    • To calculate the molarity of a solution, the number of moles of solute must be divided by the total liters of solution produced.
    • The volume does not need to be converted to liters yet because both sides of the equation use mL.
    • Notice that all of the units for volume have been converted to liters.
  • Archaeology

    • However, it is not only prehistoric, pre-literate cultures that can be studied using archaeology but historic, literate cultures as well, through the sub-discipline of historical archaeology.
    • For many literate cultures, such as Ancient Greece and Mesopotamia, their surviving records are often incomplete and biased to some extent.
  • Physical Characteristics and Volume

    • The average blood volume in adult is five liters.
    • The average adult has a blood volume of roughly five liters (1.3 gal).
  • Gas Stoichiometry

    • Shows how to use stoichiometry to convert from grams of a gas to liters of a gas.
  • Hepatic Portal Circulation

    • That is why the total liver blood flow is quite high, at about 1 liter a minute and up to two liters a minute.
  • Properties of Oxygen

    • At 25 °C and 1 standard atmosphere (101.3 kPa) of air, freshwater contains about 6.04 milliliters (mL) of oxygen per liter, whereas seawater contains about 4.95 mL per liter.
    • At 5 °C the solubility increases to 9.0 mL (50 percent more than at 25 °C) per liter for water and 7.2 mL (45 percent more) per liter for sea water.
