Question
Differentiate between molarity and Molality?
Solution
Answer:
express unit in L-1
Express unit in Kg-1
Molarity: Molarity (M) is defined as number of moles of solute dissolved in one litre (or one cubic decimetre) of solution,
express unit in L-1
Molality: Molality (m) is defined as the number of moles of the solute per kilogram (kg) of the solvent and is expressed as:
Express unit in Kg-1
molality are independent of temperature, whereas molarity is a function of temperature. This is because volume depends on temperature and mass does not.
