Chapter 11, Problem 1RQ

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The terms molarity, molality, mass percent and mole fraction are to be explained and reason why molarity is temperature dependent and other three are temperature independent are to be given

Concept introduction:

Molarity can be defined as the moles of solute (in grams) to the volume of the solution (in litres). The molarity of a solution can be given by the formula,

$\text{Molarity(M)=}\frac{\text{Moles}\text{of}\text{solute(in}\text{g)}}{\text{Volume}\text{of}\text{solution(in}\text{L)}}$

Answer to Problem 1RQ

Molarity can be defined as moles of solute to litres of solution.

Explanation of Solution

To explain molarity

Molarity can be defined as moles of solute to litres of solution.

The number of moles per litre of the solution is called as Molarity. Molarity can be defined as the moles of solute (in grams) to the volume of the solution (in litres). The molarity of a solution can be given by the formula,

$\text{Molarity(M)=}\frac{\text{Moles}\text{of}\text{solute(in}\text{g)}}{\text{Volume}\text{of}\text{solution(in}\text{L)}}$

Conclusion

The term Molarity was explained.
