Summary:
- The molality (m) of a solution is the moles of solute divided by the kilograms of solvent.
- The symbol for molality is a lower-case m written in italics.
- Molality is used because its value does not change with changes in temperature.
- For solutions with solvents other than water, the molality will be very different than the molarity.
- Make sure that you are paying attention to which quantity is being used in a given problem.
- The calculation of molality.
- is described.
