What is the difference between Molarity and Molality?

Question

Accepted Answer

Molarity is the concentration of a solution in terms of the number of moles of solute per liter of solution, while molality is the concentration of a solution in terms of the number of moles of solute per kilogram of solvent.

Molarity is denoted by M, while molality is denoted by m.
Molarity is affected by temperature changes, while molality is not.
Molarity is used in chemical reactions, while molality is used in colligative properties.
Molarity is dependent on the volume of the solution, while molality is dependent on the mass of the solvent.
For example, a solution with 1 mole of solute in 1 liter of solution has a molarity of 1M, while a solution with 1 mole of solute in 1 kilogram of solvent has a molality of 1m.

Accepted Answer

Molarity also denoted to M

Normality also denoted N

Molarity is also expressed no.of solute in per letter of solution.

Normality is also expressed no. Of equivalent of solute in per letters of solution

Accepted Answer

Molality means moles of solute in relation with solvent and molarity means concentration of moles of solute relation with volume of the solution
