How is Molarity different from Molality?
Both molarity and molality are measures of concentration, or how much solute is dissolved in solvent. Let's first get acquainted with a couple of terms. Solute - what gets dissolved Solvent - what the solute dissolves in Solution - solute and solute together Now, we can write out formulas for our two terms. Molarity(M) = moles of solute/ Liters of solution Molality(m) = moles of solute/ kg of solvent As evident from the formulas, molarity and molality equations both have the
