Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Molarity (M) of the solution has to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Molality (m): Molality is the number of moles of solute present in one kilogram of solvent. Molality is estimation of moles in relationship with solvent in the solution.
Molarity (M): Molarity is number of moles of the solute present in the one liter of the solution.
Molarity is estimation of moles in the total volume of the solution while molality is estimation of moles in relationship with solvent in the solution.
