Differentiate between molality and molarity of a solution. What is the effect of change in temperature on molarity and molality values?
Solution
Molality (): moles of solute per kilogram of solvent.
Molarity (): moles of solute per litre of solution.
Effect of temperature: the volume of a solution changes with temperature, so molarity changes (decreases on heating); masses do not change, so molality is independent of temperature.
