Which aqueous solution has higher concentration`:1` molar or 1 molal solution of the same solute ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

In aqueous solution, 1M solution means 1 mole of the solute in 1000 cc of the solution whereas 1 m solution means 1 mle of the solute in 1000 g of water ( = 1000 cc of water). Total volume of 1 m solution gt 1000 cc due to presence of extra 1 mole of the solute. Hence, numer of moles/cc in 1 m solution will be less than that in 1 M solution. In other words, 1 M is more concentrated than 1 m.
In non-aqueous solution, 1 M can be greater than, less than or equal to 1 m, depending upon the density of the solution.

    Assertion. One molar aqueous solution has always higher concentration than one molal. Reason. The molality of a solution depends upon the density of the solution whereas molarity does not.

    Which solution has a higher solute potential ?

    (A) : One molar solution is always more concentrated than one molal solution (R) : The amount of solvent in 1 M and 1m aqueous solution is not equal.

    STATEMENT-1 : One molar solution is always more concentration than one molal solution. and STATEMENT-2 : amount of solvent in 1 M and 1 m aqueous solution is not equal.

    Percent by mass of solute (molar mass = 25 g/mol) in its aqueous solution is 30. The mole fraction and molality of the solute in solution are
