The term ‘0.01 M’ refers to the molarity of the acid solution, indicating that there are 0.01 moles of the acid dissolved in one liter of the solution. Molarity (M) is a way to express the concentration of a solution, specifically the number of moles of solute per liter of solution.
In practical terms, if you have a solution that is labeled as 0.01 M, it means that for every 1 liter (1000 milliliters) of that solution, there are 0.01 moles of the acid present. To put it in perspective, this is a relatively dilute solution, often used in laboratory settings for various reactions and experiments where strong concentrations may not be necessary or could be harmful.
