solutions Flashcards
what is a solution
Solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances on molecular level. The
substances forming the solution are called components (solute, solvent) of the solutions
molality(m)
no. of moles of solute/weight of solution (in kg)
molarity(M)
no. of moles of solute/volume of solution(in L)
relation b/w molality and molarity
molarity=m*d/1+mM2/1000
where, M2 = molar mass of solute, d = density of the solution, m = molality of solution
● Relation between molarity and density
Molarity = × 10 density × % by wt. of solute/mol. wt. of solute
mole fraction
mole fraction of solute= n(solute)/n(solute)+n(solvent)
n=no of moles
same for solvent , x(solute)+x(solvent)=1
Relation between molarity (m ) M and mole fraction ( x)
x=MM1/M(M1-M2)+D
Solubility
The maximum amount of a solute that can be dissolved in a given amount of solvent at a given temperature is termed as solubility
What is vapour pressure
The pressure exerted by the vapour molecules above liquid surface which are in equilibrium with it at a given
temperature is called vapour pressure.

Factor Affecting Vapour Pressure
what is partial vapour pressure
The vapour pressure of liquid in solution is known
as its partial vapour pressure and is less than the
vapour pressure of the pure liquid at the same temperature.
what is rault’s law
The partial vapour pressure of each component of the solution is directly proportional to the mole fraction of that component present in solution.
