MOLARITY

Molarity is defined as the number of solutes per liter of a solution.

 All the solutions of same molarity contains the equal numbers of solutes in a solution
 Molarity of a solution depends upon on physical properties such as temprature and
pressure
 Molarity is denoted by M
 M is termed as molar where one molar is molarity of solution in which one gram of
solute is dissolved in 1litre solution
Formula:
M= mass of solute in grams/1litre of solution
Unit:
M=mol/L
Molality
• Molality is defined as moles of a solute per kilograms of a solvent
• Molality is not temprature dependent and does not change with
the change in temprature
• Molarity is represented by m
Formula:
m=mass of solute/kg of solvent
Unit:
mol/kg
Mole Fraction
Mole fraction is defined as the unit of the amount of
constituents(expressed in moles) divided by total amount of
constituents in a mixture
Mole fraction is given by the X
Formula:
X=moles of solute/total moles in solution
