The correct Answer is:
To determine whether the statement "Molarity of a solution changes with temperature but molality does not" is correct or wrong, we need to analyze the definitions and properties of molarity and molality. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Define Molarity**: - Molarity (M) is defined as the number of moles of solute per liter of solution. - Formula: \[ \text{Molarity (M)} = \frac{\text{Number of moles of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution in liters}} \] 2. **Define Molality**: - Molality (m) is defined as the number of moles of solute per kilogram of solvent. - Formula: \[ \text{Molality (m)} = \frac{\text{Number of moles of solute}}{\text{Mass of solvent in kilograms}} \] 3. **Effect of Temperature on Molarity**: - As temperature increases, the kinetic energy of molecules increases, causing the volume of the solution to expand. - Since molarity is dependent on the volume of the solution, an increase in temperature (and thus volume) will lead to a decrease in molarity if the number of moles of solute remains constant. 4. **Effect of Temperature on Molality**: - Molality is based on the mass of the solvent, which does not change with temperature. - Therefore, regardless of temperature changes, the number of moles of solute and the mass of solvent remain constant, meaning molality does not change with temperature. 5. **Conclusion**: - The statement "Molarity of a solution changes with temperature but molality does not" is **correct**. Molarity is volume-dependent and changes with temperature, while molality is mass-dependent and remains constant with temperature changes. ### Final Answer: The statement is **correct**.
