Are there really “only so many ways to write the Methods”?

English is a very flexible language.  There are plenty of ways to write we prepared a one molar solution of KNO₃.  Here are five more:

• We made a one molar potassium nitrate solution.
• We dissolved one mole (101g) of KNO₃ in one litre of H₂0.
• We mixed KNO₃ in water to produce a 1 M solution.
• We mixed potassium nitrate solution to one molar concentration.
• A one molar solution of potassium nitrate was prepared.
