The formula is: molality = density / molar mass. This equation takes into account the density of the solution and the molar mass of the solute.
The molar mass can be found on the periodic table. Simply look up the element or compound and use the listed molar mass in the conversion equation.
Density should be in units of grams per milliliter (g/mL) or kilograms per liter (kg/L). Molar mass should be in units of grams per mole (g/mol).
Yes, this equation can be used for any type of solution as long as the units are correct and the molar mass is known.
Molality (m) is a measure of the concentration of a solution in terms of the number of moles of solute per kilogram of solvent. Molarity (M) is a measure of the concentration of a solution in terms of the number of moles of solute per liter of solution. Molality takes into account the mass of the solvent, while molarity does not.
