Which of the following ways of expressing the concentration of a solution does NOT depend on temperature?

Molality
Molarity
% w/v
Grams per litre

Correct answer: Molality

Solution

Molality is moles of solute per kilogram of solvent, a mass-based quantity, so it is temperature independent; the others involve volume.
