Concentration expresses how much solute is present relative to solvent or total solution, and this chapter's formulas draw on several distinct units, each suited to a different situation. Molarity (M) is moles of solute per litre (dm3) of SOLUTION -- convenient for everyday use, but technically temperature-dependent, since solution volume itself expands or contracts slightly with temperature; molarity is the unit used for osmotic pressure (π=MRT), since osmotic pressure is always measured at one fixed temperature. Molality (m) is moles of solute per KILOGRAM of SOLVENT -- because mass, unlike volume, is unaffected by temperature, molality is temperature-independent, making it the correct unit whenever temperature itself is varying within a measurement, as in boiling point elevation (ΔTb=Kbm) and freezing point depression (ΔTf=Kfm). Mole fraction (x) is the ratio of one component's moles to the TOTAL moles of all compo …

- CBSE 2026Set V11 markMCQQ.A binary solution has two components 'A' and 'B'. The mole fraction of components 'A' is 0.5, then the number of moles of components 'A' and 'B' in the solution is(a) nA>nB(b) nA<nB(c) nA=nB(d) zero
›Reveal solutionSolution
Equal mole fractions (0.5 each) mean equal moles of A and B.
For a binary solution of components A and B, the mole fractions must add up to 1:
xA+xB=1
Given xA=0.5, therefore xB=1−0.5=0.5.
Since xA=nA+nBnA and xB=nA+nBnB, and xA=xB, it follows that: …

Concentration of a solution can be expressed in several ways — molarity, molality, normality and mole fraction — and each has its own defining ratio.
Molarity (M) is defined as:
M = (Number of moles of solute) / (Volume of solution in litres)
