alleryMolality of a solution does not depend on:
AMolar mass of solute
BMass of solute
CTEMPERATURE
DMass of solvent
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. TEMPERATURE
Molality = moles solute / kg solvent.
Mass does not change with temperature. Volume does.
So molarity changes with T, but molality does not.
This is why molality is preferred for colligative property calculations.
