SUMMARY
The relationship between molarity and density is not defined by a universal formula; instead, density must be determined through empirical measurement or by consulting tabulated data. For instance, to find the density of a 1M ethanol solution, one must either conduct a density measurement or refer to a reliable chemical handbook. This discussion highlights the limitations of online resources like Wikipedia for specific density values.
