How to calculate molality

Molality measures the concentration of a solution as moles of solute per kilogram of solvent — distinct from molarity, which uses solution volume instead of solvent mass.

How the calculation works

Molality = Moles of solute ÷ Mass of solvent (kg).

Example

2 moles of solute dissolved in 0.5 kg of solvent: 2÷0.5 = 4 mol/kg (4 molal).

Pro Tips for Molality

  1. Molality uses solvent mass, which doesn't change with temperature, making it preferred over molarity for calculations involving temperature changes (like freezing point depression).
  2. Don't confuse molality (moles per kg of solvent) with molarity (moles per liter of solution) — they use different denominators and aren't interchangeable.

Common Molality Mistakes to Avoid

  • Using solution volume (as in molarity) instead of solvent mass, which would actually be calculating molarity, not molality, despite the similar-sounding names.
