Lesson 7: Colligative Properties Flashcards
refers to the property of the solution that depends on the number of solute particles present
Colligative Properties
What are the 2 colligative properties?
- Boiling Point Elevation
- Freezing Point Depression
the solution of the nonvolatile nonelectrolyte solutes (solute does not have a vapor pressure of its own) boils at higher temperature than other solvents
Boiling point elevation
directly proportional to molal concentration of the solution
Boiling point elevation
△Tb=Kb*m
Boiling point elevation
pure water freezes at 0°C but when added a certain amount of any soluble substance will lower its freezing point
freezing point depression
freezing point of solution is always (lower or higher) than the freezing point of the pure solvent
lower freezing point
varies directly with molal concentration of the solution
freezing point depression
△Tf=Kf*m
Freezing point depression
similar analysis to solutions with nonelectrolyte except that the dissociation of the electrolytic solute is considered and incorporated
Solutions with electrolytes
What is i, where it represents as an equivalent to the number of ions in one formula unit of an electrolytes solute?
Van’t Hoff factor
△Tb=i (m)(Kb), △Tf=i (m) (Kf)
