CONCEPT:

Unitless Terms in Chemistry

  • In chemistry, certain quantities are considered unitless because they represent ratios or pure numbers without any associated units.

EXPLANATION:

  • Among the given options:
    • Molality (m) is defined as the number of moles of solute per kilogram of solvent. It has units of moles per kilogram (mol/kg).
    • Molarity (M) is defined as the number of moles of solute per liter of solution. It has units of moles per liter (mol/L).
    • Mole fraction (χ) is defined as the ratio of the number of moles of a component to the total number of moles of all components in the mixture. It is a ratio and therefore unitless.
    • Strength typically refers to concentration and can have various units such as grams per liter (g/L) or moles per liter (mol/L).
  • Therefore, the only term that is unitless is the mole fraction (χ).

Therefore, the correct answer is Mole fraction.
