Molality Worksheet

Complete the following questions and problems relating to molality.

1) Write the equation for molality:

M= moles solute/ kg of solvent

2) Write the equation for molarity:

M=moles solute/ L of solution

3) Explain in words how molality and molarity differ.

M=moles/L of solution (total volume)

M=moles/kg of solvent
