Concentration terms defined using masses (or moles) rather than the solution's volume are temperature-independent, because mass does not change when a liquid expands or contracts on heating/cooling.

Concentration terms like molarity and normality are defined per unit volume of solution. Since the volume of a liquid changes with temperature (thermal expansion/contraction), these values change slightly with temperature even though the actual amount of solute present is unchanged.

By contrast:

  • Molality (mm) = moles of solute per kilogram of solvent (a mass-based ratio).
  • Mole fraction (xx) = moles of one component divided by total moles of all components (a ratio of amounts of substance). …
