Colligative Properties

Properties of solutions that depend only on the number of solute particles, not their identity.

Vapor Pressure Lowering

The lowering of vapor pressure of a solvent when a non-volatile solute is added. The vapor pressure of the solution is lower than that of the pure solvent.

Osmotic Pressure

The pressure that needs to be applied to a solution to prevent the inward flow of solvent across a semipermeable membrane - a measure of the solution's tendency to take in water.

Freezing Point Depression and Boiling Point Elevation

The decrease in freezing point or the increase in boiling point of a solvent when a non-volatile solute is added. The freezing point of the solution is lower than that of the pure solvent, and the boiling point is higher.

Concentration

A measure of the amount of a substance present in a solution. Can be expressed in various units, including parts per million (ppm), molarity (M), and molality (m).

Study Notes

Properties of Solutions

  • Colligative Properties: Properties of a solution that depend on the concentration of solute particles, not the identity of the solute.
  • Vapor Pressure Lowering: The presence of a solute lowers the vapor pressure of a solvent.
  • Boiling Point Elevation: The boiling point of a solution is higher than the boiling point of the pure solvent.
  • Freezing Point Depression: The freezing point of a solution is lower than the freezing point of the pure solvent.
  • Osmotic Pressure: The pressure required to prevent the net flow of solvent across a semipermeable membrane.

Calculations

  • Mole fraction: Expresses the ratio of the moles of one component to the total moles of all components in a mixture.
  • Molality: A unit of concentration that measures the number of moles of solute per kilogram of solvent.
  • Molarity: A unit of concentration that measures the number of moles of solute per liter of solution.
  • Mass %: The mass of solute divided by the mass of solution, multiplied by 100%.
  • PPM (parts per million): A way of expressing very low concentrations of a substance in parts of solute per million parts of solution.

Specific Examples

  • Vapor Pressure of a Solution: The pressure of a solution at 50 °C of Benzene(C6H6) is 269.3mmHg. Given 1.26g of naphthalene (C10H8) in 25g of benzene, the vapor pressure of the solution at the same temperature is 261.3 mmHg.
  • Pressure Osmotic: 0.1g of an enzyme dissolve in 20ml of benzene(C6H6), produces an osmotic pressure of 2.65mmHg at 25°C. The molecular weight of the enzyme is 35040g/mol.
  • Water vapor pressure calculation: At 20°C, the vapor pressure of water(H2O) is 17.53 mmHg, a gas mixture containing Argon(Ar) at 20°C and 790 mmHg has 80% humidity. Calculating the dry volume at the new conditions of 25°C and 800 mmHg. The answer is 0.479L.

Contaminant in Fish

  • Mercury ppm: A fish contains 0.427 ppm of mercury
  • Mass of Mercury per fish: A 400g fish contains 0.171 mg of mercury.

Other Important Information

  • Concentration of Substances in Sea Water: Sea water contains 1.9 x 104 ppm of Chloride (Cl-) ions and 10500 ppm of Sodium (Na+) ions are present.
  • Molar Concentration: 0.549 mol/L for Chloride ion and 0.468 mol/L for Sodium ion are the molar concentrations in the sea water.
