Question 39
Concentration terms such as mass percentage, ppm, mole fraction and molality are independent of temperature, however molarity is a function of temperature. Explain.

Solution

Molarity is defined as the number of moles of solute dissolved per litre of a solution. Since, volume depends on temperature and changes with change in temperature, the molarity will also change with change in temperature.
On the other hand, mass does not change with change in temperature, so other concentration terms given in the question also do not do so. Thus, temperature has no effect on the mass but it has significant effect on volume.
