Equimolal

/ˌɛkwɪˈmoʊləl/ adjective

Definition

In chemistry, describing a solution or mixture containing equal numbers of moles of different substances; having equal molality.

Etymology

From Latin 'aequi-' (equal) plus 'moles' (from 'moles,' a large quantity). The '-al' suffix creates an adjective. 'Mole' in chemistry refers to a specific unit measuring amount of substance.

Kelly Says

Equimolal solutions are exactly what chemists love because equal molality means the proportions are predictable and reproducible—it's the chemical equivalent of following a recipe with perfect precision.
