Non-Ideal Solutions

Solutions that don't obey Raoult's Law. The forces of attraction between molecules are not equal (A-A ≠ A-B ≠ B-B).

Ideal Solutions

Solutions that obey Raoult's Law over the entire range of concentration. The forces of attraction between molecules are equal (A-A = A-B = B-B).

Ideal Solution Mixing Properties

The change in enthalpy upon mixing is zero (ΔHmix = 0), and the change in volume upon mixing is zero (ΔVmix = 0).

Positive Deviation (Non-Ideal)

This occurs when the forces of attraction between A-A and B-B are greater than those between A-B (A-A > A-B). ΔHmix is positive, and ΔVmix is positive.

Negative Deviation (Non-Ideal)

Occurs when the forces of attraction between A-A and B-B are less than those between A-B (A-A < A-B). ΔHmix is negative, and ΔVmix is negative.

Raoult's Law

States that the partial vapor pressure of each component of an ideal mixture of liquids is equal to the vapor pressure of the pure component multiplied by its mole fraction in the mixture.

Study Notes

  • Solutions are of 2 types based on Raoult's law: ideal and non-ideal solutions.

Ideal Solutions

  • Follow Raoult's law.
  • Force of attraction: A-A = A-B = B-B
  • ΔHmix = 0
  • ΔVmix = 0
  • Example: Benzene + Toluene
  • Graphs of partial pressures Pa and Pb versus mole fractions Xa and Xb are linear
  • Equations for Pa and Pb:
    • Pa = P°a * Xa + 0, which is in the form y = mx + c
    • Pb = P°b * Xb + 0, which is in the form y = mx + c

Non-Ideal Solutions

  • Do not follow Raoult's law.
  • Force of attraction: A-A ≠ A-B ≠ B-B
  • Examples: C2H5OH + H2O and HNO3 + H2O
  • Positive Deviation:
    • A-A > A-B
    • ΔHmix = +ve
    • ΔVmix = +ve
  • Negative Deviation:
    • A-A < A-B
    • ΔHmix = -ve
    • ΔVmix = -ve
