Describe the methods for expressing the concentrations of solutions like molarity and molality?
Ans:
Molarity: It is defined as the moles of solute present in 1 L of solution and it denoted by M.
Molarity changes with temperature because the volume of solution changes with temperature.
Molarity: It is defined as the moles of solute present in 1000 gms of solvent and it denoted by m.
Molarity remains constant with temperature because the mass of solvent does not change with temperature.
Molarity is defined as the moles of solute present in 1 L of solution whereas molality is defined as the moles of solute present in 1000 gms of solvent.
