The correct Answer is:
To determine which term used for denoting the concentration of a solution is not affected by temperature, we can analyze the definitions of the given terms: molarity, molality, normality, and formality. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Molarity (M)**: - Molarity is defined as the number of moles of solute per liter of solution. - It is temperature-dependent because the volume of the solution can change with temperature. **Hint**: Remember that volume changes with temperature, affecting molarity. 2. **Understanding Molality (m)**: - Molality is defined as the number of moles of solute per kilogram of solvent. - It is not affected by temperature because the mass of the solvent remains constant regardless of temperature changes. **Hint**: Focus on the mass of the solvent, which does not change with temperature. 3. **Understanding Normality (N)**: - Normality is defined as the number of equivalents of solute per liter of solution. - Like molarity, normality is also temperature-dependent due to changes in volume. **Hint**: Equivalent concentration also relies on volume, which can change with temperature. 4. **Understanding Formality (F)**: - Formality is defined as the number of moles of solute per liter of solution, similar to molarity. - Therefore, it is also temperature-dependent. **Hint**: Similar to molarity, formality is affected by volume changes. 5. **Conclusion**: - Among the four terms, molality is the only one that does not change with temperature. - Thus, the answer to the question is **molality**. ### Final Answer: The term that does not get affected by temperature is **molality** (Option B).
