Study Notes

Types of Solutions

Solutions are classified as solid, liquid, and gaseous based on the state of the solute and solvent.
Gaseous solutions can have gas, liquid, or solid solutes dissolved in a gas solvent.
Liquid solutions can have gas, liquid, or solid solutes dissolved in a liquid solvent.
Solid solutions can have gas, liquid, or solid solutes dissolved in a solid solvent.

Concentration of Solutions

The composition of a solution can be described by expressing its concentration.
Qualitative descriptions of concentration include terms such as dilute (small amount of solute) and concentrated (large amount of solute).
Quantitative descriptions of concentration provide specific measurements and units, such as mole fraction, molarity, molality, and percentage.

Ideal Solutions

The enthalpy of mixing and the volume of mixing for ideal solutions are zero.
Ideal solutions exhibit no heat absorption or evolution during mixing.
The volume of the solution is equal to the sum of the volumes of the individual components.
Ideal solutions are characterized by equal intermolecular attractive forces between the solute-solute, solvent-solvent, and solute-solvent interactions.
Examples of nearly ideal solutions include:
- n-hexane and n-heptane
- bromoethane and chloroethane
- benzene and toluene

Non-ideal Solutions

Non-ideal solutions do not obey Raoult's law over the entire range of concentration.
The vapor pressure of a non-ideal solution can be higher or lower than predicted by Raoult's law.
Positive deviations from Raoult's law indicate a higher vapor pressure than expected.
Negative deviations from Raoult's law indicate a lower vapor pressure than expected.

Freezing Point Depression

The freezing point of a substance is the temperature at which the vapor pressure of the liquid phase equals the vapor pressure of the solid phase.
Dissolving a non-volatile solute into a solvent decreases the vapor pressure of the solution.
Consequently, the freezing point of the solvent decreases, a phenomenon known as freezing point depression.
The depression in freezing point (ΔTf) is directly proportional to the molality (m) of the solution.

Reverse Osmosis

Reverse osmosis is a process that utilizes pressure to force solvent molecules across a semipermeable membrane from a high concentration solution to a low concentration solution.
The pressure applied must be greater than the osmotic pressure of the solution.
Reverse osmosis is used for water purification, such as desalination of seawater.

Abnormal Molar Masses

Ionic compounds dissociate into cations and anions when dissolved in water.
The degree of dissociation (x) determines the van't Hoff factor (i), which accounts for the number of particles present in the solution.
Abnormal molar masses arise when the observed colligative properties deviate from the expected values due to dissociation or association of the solute in solution.
