Question

Define Molality.

Definition

Solution

Molality (m) is defined as the number of moles of the solute per kilogram (kg) of the solvent. It is expressed as:

Molality (m) = `"Moles of solute"/"Mass of solvent in Kg"`

Therefore, the unit of molality is mole per kg (mol kg−1).

If nB moles of solute are dissolved in W grams of solvent, then

Molality = `"n"_"B"/"W" xx 1000`
