Question:

In which of one the following all the concentration terms are independent of temperature?

Options:

molarity, ppm, molality

mass fraction, molarity, molality

mole fraction, mass fraction, molarity

mole fraction, mass fraction, molality

Correct Answer:

mole fraction, mass fraction, molality

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) → mole fraction, mass fraction, molality

Let’s analyze each concentration term:

  1. Molarity (M) – moles of solute per liter of solution → depends on volume, which changes with temperaturetemperature dependent
  2. Molality (m) – moles of solute per kg of solvent → depends on mass, independent of temperature
  3. Mole fraction (x) – ratio of moles → depends on number of moles, independent of temperature
  4. Mass fraction (w) – ratio of masses → independent of temperature
  5. ppm – parts per million by mass or volume → mass-based ppm is independent, volume-based is temperature dependent

 Terms independent of temperature:

  • Molality
  • Mole fraction
  • Mass fraction 
    Hence, OPTION 4 IS CORRECT
