Molarity is volume-dependent (moles per litre of solution), so it falls as the solution expands on heating; mass-based measures (molality, mole fraction, mass %) are temperature-independent.

On heating an aqueous solution, the volume of the solution increases (thermal expansion) while the number of moles of solute and the total mass remain unchanged.

  • Molarity =moles of solutevolume of solution (L)= \dfrac{\text{moles of solute}}{\text{volume of solution (L)}} — since volume increases, molarity decreases. …
