Concentration terms such as mass percentage, ppm, mole fraciton and molality are independent of temperature, however molarity is a function of temperature. Explain.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Molarity of a solution is defined as the number of moles of solute dissolved per litre of solution. Since volume depends on temperature and changes with change in temperature, therefore, the molarity will also change with change in temperature. On the other hand, mass does not change with change in temperature, and therefore, concentration terms such as mass percentage, mole fraction and molality which do not involve volume are independent of temperature.
