Molarity vs Molality vs Molasses

On Friday we talked about the idea of molarity and molality. Molarity (M) is = to the moles of solute/liters of solution. Molality is not as common, as shown by the fact it is not in some dictionary. Molality is = to the mol solute / kilograms of solvent.
We then continued to solve some example problems of calculating concentrations. Take a look at your notes for some extra practice.
Molarity and Dilution
At the end we introduced the concept of Molarity and dilution, and established this formula
m1v1 = m2v2.

Here is a video walking through the conversation of Molality to Molarity.



Here doesn't sound very happy, but he is pretty concise. Also remember to do your webassigns and homework. Also molasses has no link to chemistry if you were curious,but they did come to mind.
