Meaning
Concentration measured by the number of moles of solute per kilogram of solvent.
Classification
Nouns denoting attributes of people and objects.
Examples
- The molality of the solution was calculated by dividing the number of moles of solute by the mass of the solvent in kilograms.
- Molality is often used to express the concentration of a solution when the density of the solution is not known.
- To determine the molality of the solution, the chemist measured the mass of the solvent and the number of moles of solute.
- The molality of the solution was found to be 2 moles of solute per kilogram of solvent.
- Molality is a useful unit of concentration because it is independent of the volume of the solution.
