Chapter 2  Solutions Class 12 Chemistry Maharashtra Board Textbook Solution

3. Answer the following.

ix. While considering boiling point elevation and freezing point depression a solution concentration is expressed in molality and not in molarity. Why?

Answer:-

1. In boiling point elevation and freezing point depression, we deal with the systems whose temperature is not constant.

2. We cannot express the concentration of the solution in molarity because it changes with temperature whereas molality is temperature independent.

Hence, while considering boiling point elevation and freezing point depression a solution concentration is expressed in molality and not in molarity.
