Colligative properties (5/11) Flashcards
Freezing point depression
decrease the temperature at which the solution can freeze (must be even colder) and increase the temperature at which it boils (must get even hotter)
Colligative properties definition
Do not depend on identity of solute
Depend on the total number of dissolved solute particles
4 basic properies
Vapor pressure reduction
Boiling point elevation
Freezing point depression
Osmotic pressure
Vapor pressure reduction
if liquid exposed to air will evaporate and this is the pressure
if adding solute, reduced evaporation liquid pressure
Raoult’s law
Pvaporofsolution= Xmolefractionofsolvent*Pvaporof solvent Molefraction= mol of solvent/moles of solvent + moles of solute
Boiling point
temperature at which vapor pressure equals atmospheric pressure
adding a solute to a solution decreases vapor pressure and increases boiling point
Boiling point elevation
Tb = i*Kb*m Kb= constant for the solvent in question m= molality (mol/kg) i= how many particles generated when substance ionizes in solution
Freezing point depression
Tf=iKfm
Kf water= 1.86
becomes less
Osmotic pressure
Pressure required to prevent osmosis
Vapor pressure is best reduced when
adding a large amount of a nonvolatile solute to the solvent
