PARAMETERS MOLARITY MOLALTY

The number of moles of solute dissolve per The number of moles of solute dissolved
DEFINITION dm3 of solution. per kg of solvent.

REPRESENTATION It is represented by “M”. It is represented by “m”.

It depends upon temperature. It is independent of temperature.

DEPENDENCE
M= moles of solute/volume of solution (dm 3 m= moles of solute/mass of solvent (kg)
).
FORMULA
0.5 molar or 0.5M NaOH solution contains 1 molal or 1m NaCl solution is obtained by
0.5 moles of NaOH in enough water to dissolving 1 mole (58.5g) NaCl in one
EXAMPLES make 1dm3 solution. kilogram of water.
