Differentiate between molarity and molality for a solution. How does a change in temperature influence their values?
Ans:
Molality is defined as the number of moles of the solute per kilogram of the solvent. It is represented by $m$.
Molality($m$) $= \frac{(no. \, of \, moles \, of \, solute) \times 1000}{mass \, of \, solvent \, (in \, gram)}$
It does not change with change in temperature.
Molarity is defined as the number of moles of solute dissolved in one litre or one cubic decimetre of the solution.
Molarity($M$) $= \frac{no. \, of \, moles \, solute \times 1000}{volume \, of \, the \, solution \, (in \, mL}$
It decreases with increase in temperature.
