chemistry colligative properties of solution Flashcards
is a property of solution that is dependent on the ratio between the total number of solute particles to the total number of solvent particles
colligative property
are not dependent on the chemical nature of the solutions components
colligative properties
_ can be linked to several quantities that express the concentration of a solution such as ,,_.
colligative properties. molarity, normality, molality
four colligative properties that can be exhibited by a solution
boiling point elevation, freezing point depression, relative lowering of vapour pressure, osmotic pressure
the word _ has been adapted or taken from the latin word _ which translates to _
colligative. colligatus. bound together
help us understand how the properties of the solution are linked to the concentration of solute in the solution
colligative properties
containing non volatile solute exhibit some properties which depend only on the number of solute particles present and not on the type of solute present
dilute solution
are changed by the solute where its particles remove some of the solvent molecules in the liquid phase
solvent properties
is dependent on the ratio of solute to solvent molecules in a solution
vapor pressure of electrolyte solutions
a simple example of an electrolyte solution is
sodium chloride in water
are those in which the solute does not dissociate into ions when dissolved
nonelectrolyte solutions
is the pressure exerted by a vapor in equilibrium with its condensed phase
vapor pressure
it is a measure of how much the solvent molecules tend to escape from a liquid or solid phase into the atmosphere
vapor pressure
the number of dissolved particles is larger because the solute breaks apart into ions
electrolyte solution
the entire surface is occupied by the molecules of the solvent
pure solvent
is the vapour pressure of pure solvent
P₀
is the vapour pressure of the solution
Ps
the difference Po - Ps is termed as
lowering in vapour pressure
the ratio Po - Ps / Po is known as the
relative lowering of vapour pressure
established a relation between relative lowering in vapour pressure and mole fraction
Raoult in 1886
it states that the relative lowering in vapour pressure of a dilute solution is equal to the mole fraction of the solute present in the solution
Raoult’s Law
the difference in the boiling point of the solution and the boiling point of the pure solvent is termed as the
elevation in boiling point
