What are the physical properties that are dependent on the relative number of moles of solute and solvent called
colligative properties
What unit expresses the relative number of moles of solute and solvent?
mole fraction
What does molality rely on?
fixed mass of solvent
What does molality units express?
number of moles of solute in 1 kilgram of solvent
What are the three ways by which amount of solute is measured?
percent composition, molarity, molality
What differentiates molarity and molality in terms of measurement?
molarity uses 1 liter of solvent, molality uses 1 kg of solvent
What is Raoult’s law
“a solvent’s partial vapor pressure in a solution is equal to the vapor pressure of the pure solvent multiplied by its mole fraction in the solution
