The Volumetric Flask


Molarity
Molarity is defined to be:


Molarity is probably the most commonly employed of all solution concentration units. This is due to the utility of the volumetric flask in the laboratory. Volumetric flasks are specifically calibrated for a variety of solution volumes (among the most common specific volumes are: 5 L, 2 L, 1 L, 750 mL, 500 mL, 250 mL 100 mL, 50 mL 25 mL and 10 mL). To prepare a solution of the proper molarity, one weighs out the appropriate mass of solute to produce the correct number of moles, transfers it to the volumetric flask, fills the flask to the base of the neck, dissolves the solute, then fills the flask to the calibration mark etched in the neck. For calculation purposes, we will assume our volumetric flasks provide a volume accurate to ± 0.1 mL.

Molality
Molality is defined to be:

Although this definition is similar to that used for molarity, there is an important distinction to the denominator. Firstly, the definition of molality includes only the solvent in its denominator, as opposed to molarity which includes the entire solution. Secondly, the definition of molality has the mass of solvent in its denominator, as opposed to the molarity's volume of solution. Because mass units are independent of temperature, molality units are also independent of temperature. Since molarity units include volume, and volume is temperature-dependent, molarity varies with temperature. As temperature increases, molarity decreases, and as temperature decreases, molarity increases.
