Questions and Answers

What is the primary reason why molality is preferred over molarity in delicate measurements?

  • Molality is more accurate for ideal solutions
  • Molality does not contain a volume term (correct)
  • Molality is less susceptible to temperature changes
  • Molality is a more convenient conversion factor
  • What is the unit of molarity expressed in?

  • mol/L (correct)
  • mol/kg
  • mol/cm³
  • mol/mg
  • In what type of solutions is the volume additive?

  • Solid solutions
  • Ideal solutions (correct)
  • Aqueous solutions
  • Nonideal solutions
