The formula to calculate molality is:
\[ \text{Molality} = \frac{N}{M} \]
Where:
Molality is described as the amount of solute divided by the mass of the solvent. The amount of solute is measured in moles, and the mass of the solvent is measured in kilograms. Molality is another way of conceptualizing the concentration of a solute in a solution.
Molality is not to be confused with molarity, which is a measure of concentration expressed as a unit per volume instead of a unit per mass.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula to calculate molality:
\[ \text{Molality} = \frac{2}{1} = 2 \text{ mol/kg} \]
The Molality is 2 mol/kg.
