Question:
Calculate the molarity and the molality of an {eq}NH_3 {/eq} solution made up of 30.0 grams of {eq}NH_3 {/eq} in 70.0 grams of water. The density of the solution is 0.982 g/mL.
Molarity and Molality
Molarity and molality are ways to express the concentration of a solution. Molarity is the ratio between the moles of solute and the volume of the solution in liters. Molality is the ratio between the moles of solute and the mass of solvent in kilograms.
{eq}\rm Molarity \, (M) \, = \, \dfrac{Moles \ solute}{Volume \ of \ solution \ (L) } \\[4ex] \rm Molality \, (m) \, = \, \dfrac{Moles \ solute}{Mass\ of \ solvent \ (kg)} {/eq}
The symbol for molarity is {eq}\rm M {/eq} or {eq}\rm c {/eq} with the units also as {eq}\rm M {/eq} or {eq}\rm mol/L {/eq}.
The symbol for molality is {eq}\rm m {/eq} or {eq}\rm b {/eq} with the units also as {eq}\rm m {/eq} or {eq}\rm mol/kg {/eq}.

- Mass of solute ({eq}\rm NH_3 {/eq}) = 30.0 g.
- Mass of solvent = 70.0 g.
- {eq}\rm \rho {/eq} solution = 0.982 g/mL.
First, we will...
