Analytical molarity: An analyst (Chemist) prepares 1,2,3 etc... Molar solutions by taking stipulated amounts of solute and solvent. These 1 M, 2M and 3M solutions may thermodynamically behave as 0.8M, 1.5M and 2.2M solutions. Then, these reduced concentrations as termed as active masses.
Active Mass= Activity coefficient x Analytical concentration; always activity coefficient is less than or equal to 1. Activity coefficient tends to 1, if concentration tends to zero. Activity coefficient of gases is called fugacity.
Equilibrium Molarity: It is the molarity, or concentration of a specified substance at the time independent thermodynamic state of dynamic equilibrium.
