Solutions Flashcards
What is the Mass Percentage?
The mass percentage of a component in a given solution is the mass of the component per 100g of the solution.
Mass % of a component = Mass of the component in the solution/ Total mass of the solution × 100
What is the Volume Percentage?
The volume percentage is the volume of the component per 100 parts by volume of the solution.
Volume % of a component = Volume of the component/Total volume of solution × 100
What is Parts Per Million?
The number of parts by mass of solute per million parts by mass of the million.
ppm = Number of parts of the component/Total number of parts of all components in the solution × 10⁶
What is Mole Fraction?
The ratio of the number of one component to the total number of moles of all the components present in the solution.
Xₛₒₗᵤₜₑ = nₛₒₗᵤₜₑ / nₛₒₗᵤₜₑ + nₛₒₗᵥₑₙₜ
What is Molarity?
It is defined as the number of moles of solute dissolved in one liter.
Molarity = Number of moles of solute/Volume of solution (in liter)
What is Molality?
It is defined as the number of moles of solute dissolved in per kilogram of solvent.
Molalilty = Moles of solute/Mass of solvent (in kg)
What is Henry’s Law?
At constant temperature, the solubility of a gas in a liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of gas present above the surface of the liquid or solution.
P = Kₕ X
What is the significance of Henry’s law and Henry’s constant?
1) Different gases have different Kₕ values in the same solvent at the same temperature.
2) The value of Kₕ increases with an increase in temperature.
3) Higher the value of Kₕ at a particular pressure, the lower the solubility of the gas in the liquid.
4) It is applied to each gas independent of the presence of other gases.
What are the limitations of Henry’s law?
It is only applicable when
1) The pressure of the gas is not too high.
2) Temperature is not too low.
3) The gas should not go any chemical change.
4) The gas should not go association and disassociation in the solution.
What is Vapour Pressure?
The pressure exerted by the vapors above the liquid surface in equilibrium with the liquid at a given temperature.
What is the Raoult’s Law?
At a given temperature for a solution of volatile liquids, the partial vapor pressure of each component of the solution is directly proportional to its mole fraction present in the solution.
p = p₁ᵒ + (p₂ᵒ - p₁ᵒ) x₂
What are ideal solutions?
The solutions which obey the Raoult’s law over the entire range of concentration are known as ideal solutions.
• The enthalpy of mixing of the pure components to form the solution is zero.
• The volume of mixing is also zero.
What are non-ideal solutions?
Solutions which do not follow the Raoult’s law and show positive or negative deviation from the law are called non-ideal solutions.
How does a non-ideal solution show positive deviation from Raoult’s law?
When the intermolecular interactions are weaker than intramolecular interactions.
i.e. Iₐ₋ₓ < Iₐ₋ₐ and Iₓ₋ₓ
This means that molecules of A or X will find it easier to escape the solution, giving a positive deviation.
How does a non-ideal solution show negative deviation from Raoult’s law?
When the intermolecular interactions are stronger than intramolecular interactions.
i.e. Iₐ₋ₓ > Iₐ₋ₐ and Iₓ₋ₓ
This means that molecules of A or X will find it hard to escape the solution, giving a negative deviation as there is less vapor produced.
