Molality, defined

Note that M is the symbol for a quantity, the molar concentration, and M is the symbol for a unit, mol/L. (The term molarity is often used to refer to molar concentration it will not be used in this book, in order to avoid confusion with molality, defined below.)... 

The four most common ways to describe solution composition are mass percent, mole fraction, molarity, and molality. Define each of these solution composition terms. Why is molarity temperature-dependent, whereas the other three solution composition terms are temperature-independent ... 

Figure 28 shows the key features of the humidity chart. The chart consists of the following four parameters plotted as ordinates against temperature on the abscissas (1) Humidity H, as pounds of water per pound of dry air, for air of various relative humidities (2) Specific volume, as cubic feet of dry air per pound of dry air (3) Saturated volume in units of cubic feet of saturated mixture per pound of dry air and (4) latent heat of vaporization (r) in units of Btu per pound of water vaporized. The chart also shows plotted hiunid heat (s) as abscissa versus the humidity (H) as ordinates, and adiabatic humidification curves (i.e., humidity versus temperature). Figure 28 represents mixtures of dry air and water vapor, whereby the total pressure of the mixture is taken as normal barometric. Defining the actual pressure of the water vapor in the mixture as p (in units of mm of mercury), the pressure of the dry air is simply 760 - p. The molal ratio of water vapor to air is p/(760-p), and hence the mass ratio is ... 

Sometimes tabulated values of the mean molal heat capacities Cp (T) are more easily accessible than C (T data, with respect to a reference temperature of T = 25°C (see Table 2-45). Since Cp is defined over the range T and T, by... 

Units It should be noted that in the S.I. the activity of a solute is defined with reference to a standard state, i.e. an ideal solution of molality 1 mol kg". Thus the relative activity of a metal ion in solution is given by... 

There are several different scales 011 which the activity of a solute may be defined.1 In thermodynamic expressions for a solute in a non-ideal solution the activity on the molality scale plays the same part that is played by the molality of a solute in an ideal solution. Since the activity is expressed in the same units as the molality, the ratio of the activity to the molality—the activity coefficient—is a pure number whose value is independent of these units it is also indopendont of the particular b.q.s. that has been adopted. Thus the numerical values of all activities and molalities would change in the same ratio, if at any time a new choice were made for the b.q.s. 

In agreement with (98), the left-hand side is just the standard free energy of solution AF°. Here y, as defined by (106), is the usual activity coefficient on the molality scale. In particular, when the solid is in contact with its saturated solution, there is no change in the free energy when additional ions are taken into solution. In this case, if in (108) we write m, t and y,at, the values of m and y in the saturated solution, we may set AF equal to zero. This will be discussed in Sec. 100. 

The concentration unit molality, given the symbol m, is defined as the number of moles of solute per kilogram (1000 g) of solvent... 

Strategy First (1) calculate the number of moles of C2H602 (MM = 62.07 g/mol). Then (2) apply the defining equation to calculate the molality. Finally (3), use the equation ATf = (1.86°C/m) X molality to find the freezing point lowering.

The IUPAC definition of pH39 is based upon a 0.05M solution of potassium hydrogenphthalate as the reference value pH standard (RVS). In addition, six further primary standard solutions are also defined which between them cover a range of pH values lying between 3.5 and 10.3 at room temperature, and these are further supplemented by a number of operational standard solutions which extend the pH range covered to 1.5-12.6 at room temperature. The composition of the RVS solution, of three of the primary standard solutions and of two of the operational standard solutions is detailed below, and their pH values at various temperatures are given in Table 15.4. It should be noted that the concentrations are expressed on a molal basis, i.e. moles of solute per kilogram of solution. 

However, as can be seen in Figure 6.15, which is a graph of the fugacity of HC1 against molality in dilute aqueous solutions of HC1 (near. i = 1), f2 approaches the m axis with zero slope. This behavior would lead to a Henry s law constant, kn.m = 0. given the treatment we have developed so far. Since the activity with a Henry s law standard state is defined as a —fi/kwnu this would yield infinite activities for all solutions. 

We now have the foundation for applying thermodynamics to chemical processes. We have defined the potential that moves mass in a chemical process and have developed the criteria for spontaneity and for equilibrium in terms of this chemical potential. We have defined fugacity and activity in terms of the chemical potential and have derived the equations for determining the effect of pressure and temperature on the fugacity and activity. Finally, we have introduced the concept of a standard state, have described the usual choices of standard states for pure substances (solids, liquids, or gases) and for components in solution, and have seen how these choices of standard states reduce the activity to pressure in gaseous systems in the limits of low pressure, to concentration (mole fraction or molality) in solutions in the limit of low concentration of solute, and to a value near unity for pure solids or pure liquids at pressures near ambient. 

The molality is the concentration of solute in moles per kilogram of solvent. Its value is independent of the temperature and is directly proportional to the numbers of solute and solvent molecules in the solution. To convert molarity to molality, we note that the former is defined in terms of the volume of the solution, so we convert that overall volume to the mass of solvent present. 

Step 1 Calculate the amount of solute molecules, wso ule, present in a given mass of solvent, mio vent, by rearranging the equation defining molality (Eq. 3) into... 

The conversion is more involved because the molality is defined in terms of the mass of solvent but the molarity is defined in terms of the volume of solution. To carry out the conversion we need to know the density of the solution. 

For applications where the solution temperature changes, chemists prefer to use the molality, units of mol/kg). Molality is defined to be the number of moles of solute divided by the mass of solvent in kilograms. Moles of solute solute... 

In fact, the symbol Ic should be used, as the molality ionic strength Im can be defined analogously in dilute aqueous solutions, however, values of c and m, and thus also Ic and Im, become identical.) Equation (1.1.21) was later derived theoretically and is called the Debye-Huckel limiting law. It will be discussed in greater detail in Section 1.3.1. 

Now the origin of the scale must be defined, i.e. a pH value must be selected for a standard (as close as possible to the value expected on the basis of definition 1.4.46). A solution of potassium hydrogen phthalate with a molality of 0.05 mol kg-1 has been selected as the reference value pH standard (RVS). 

Both molarity (Chap. 10) and normality (Chap. 15) are defined in terms of a volume. Since the volume is temperature-dependent, so are the molarity and normality of the solution. Two units of concentration that are independent of temperature are introduced in this chapter. Molality is defined as the number of moles of solute per kilogram of solvent in a solution. The symbol for molality is m. Note the differences between molality and molarity ... 

The mole fraction X in the previous equation is replaced with a new unitless variable at, the species activity. The standard potentials pt° are defined at a new standard state a hypothetical one-molal solution of the species in which activity and molality are equal, and in which the species properties have been extrapolated to infinite dilution. 

Here, we define the total dissolved solids (in mg kg-1) for early releases of the REACT program (GWB 6.0 and previous), so the software can correctly convert our input constraints from mg kg-1 to molal units, as carried internally (i.e., variables nii and m.j). The print command causes the program to list in the output all of the aqueous species, not just those in greatest concentration. Typing go triggers the model to begin calculations and write its results to the output dataset.

Sometimes the varying volumes of a solutions liquid component(s) due to changes in temperature present a problem. Many times volumes are not additive, but mass is additive. The chemist then resorts to defining concentration in terms of the molality. Molality (m) is defined as the moles of solute per kilogram of solvent.
