Non-Ideal solution Flashcards
non-ideal solution
molecules don’t interact identically therefore behaviour of one molecule depend on composition of solution
arrangement of molecules
non-random - strong attraction = closer
non-ideality
frequently observed IRL and make necessary to extend thermodynamics analysis
equation for chemical potential - calculate concentration
μx = μx* + RTln[ax]
concentration/activity, ax
calculated concentration
activity coefficient - Yx equation
Yx = ax / [x]
[x]
actual concentration
ax
effective concentration
ax = [x]
ideal solution
how much Yx deviates from 1
how different solution is from ideal
effective equation - μx
μx = μx* + RTlnYx[x]
Yx converting [x] into ax
has physical significance - used to measure amount of solution deviated from ideal
ax in a graph
concentrated predicted by ideal model to have same μ as actual
if Y = 1
ideal solution
Y < 1
x is more stable than predicted model
