Study Notes
Colligative Properties
- Colligative properties depend on the number of solute particles, not the nature of the solute.
- Key colligative properties include boiling point elevation, freezing point depression, vapor pressure lowering, and osmotic pressure.
Van't Hoff Factor (i)
- Represents the number of particles a solute dissociates into in solution.
- For example, NaCl dissociates into Na⁺ and Cl⁻ ions, so i = 2.
- Also known as the van't Hoff factor.
Boiling Point Elevation
- Adding a non-volatile solute to a solvent increases its boiling point.
Freezing Point Depression
- Adding a non-volatile solute to a solvent decreases its freezing point.
Vapor Pressure Lowering
- Adding a non-volatile solute to a solvent lowers its vapor pressure.
Osmotic Pressure
- A pressure difference created by a selectively permeable membrane, separating solutions of different concentrations.
Solute Effects on Boiling Point
- Non-volatile solutes increase boiling points.
Solute Effects on Freezing Point
- Non-volatile solutes decrease freezing points.
Solution vs. Colloid
- Solutions have small solute particles that dissolve completely.
- Colloids have larger solute particles that don't dissolve but remain dispersed in the solvent.
Tyndall Effect
- Light scattering by colloidal particles.
Hydrophilic vs. Hydrophobic Colloids
- Hydrophilic colloids interact well with water (attraction to water).
- Hydrophobic colloids do not interact well with water (repulsion from water).
Emulsification
- Dispersion of one liquid in another, aided by surfactants (like emulsifiers).
Factors affecting Colligative Properties
- Number of solute particles affects colligative properties.
- Solvent identity does not affect colligative properties.
Compounds with Van't Hoff Factors
- NaCl (i = 2)
- CaCl₂ (i = 3)
