Molality

Basic Concept

Molality (m) of a solution is a ratio giving the number of moles of solute per kilogram of solvent.

  Molality (m) = moles of solute (n) / kilograms of solvent

This module is to calculate the molality of a solution by knowing the moles of the solute directly or indirectly, and the mass of the solvent; or calculate either the moles of the solute or the mass of the solvent by known the molality and the other quantity.
