Study Notes
Colligative Properties
- Colligative properties depend primarily on the number of solute particles in a solution, regardless of their identity.
- These properties include vapor pressure lowering, boiling point elevation, freezing point depression, and osmotic pressure.
Isotonic Solutions
- Osmotic pressure is a key colligative property that is pharmaceutically important for achieving isotonic solutions, essential for intravenous and injectable formulations.
- Isotonic solutions help prevent cell lysis or crenation due to osmotic imbalances.
Osmotic Pressure Equation
- The equation associated with osmotic pressure is π = iCRT, where:
- π represents osmotic pressure
- i is the van 't Hoff factor (number of particles the solute dissociates into)
- C is the molar concentration of the solute
- R is the ideal gas constant
- T is the absolute temperature in Kelvin
Boiling Point Elevation
- Boiling point elevation depends on the concentration of solute particles in a solvent; more solute increases the boiling point due to lowered vapor pressure.
- The relationship is described by the formula ΔT_b = iK_bm, where K_b is the ebullioscopic constant of the solvent and m is the molality of the solution.
Raoult's Law
- Raoult’s Law describes how the vapor pressure of a solvent decreases in a solution, proportional to the concentration of the solute.
- It states that the vapor pressure of the solvent in a solution (P_solution) is equal to the vapor pressure of the pure solvent (P°_solvent) multiplied by the mole fraction of the solvent in the solution.
