I was reading about concentration terms like molarity,molality molality,etc etc. and than Ithen I came across a question i.e whose: which concentration is more if we have following-:

  • 1M(molar) of solute x dissolved in water andvs.
  • 1m(molal) of solute x dissolved in water When I Google it, I did not found exact thing but related to it. My approach is

When I Google it, I did not find exact answers but did find some related information. My approach is:

  • let us convertConvert 1M into molality and thanthen compare if it is less or more than 1m. (?)
  • DensityThe density of water is 1kg per Litre whenL.
  • When solute x is added to it, itdensity would definitely increase(?) 
  • And therefore 1L of that solution will weigh more than 1 kg.
  • now if we calculate molality of 1M solution it would be less than 1m . (?)
  • am I correct ??
  • Density would always(?) Increase after adding solute
  • **Hence 1m will always be more than 1M **

Whose concentration is more 1 molar or 1 molal?
