Solutions

Different types of solutions are formed through processes such as dissolution, dispersion, and ionization.

Colligative properties of solutions are properties that depend on the number of solute particles, rather than their identity. These properties include boiling point elevation, freezing point depression, and osmotic pressure. The colligative properties are directly related to the molar masses of the solutes.

Ideal solutions are those that obey Raoult's law, which states that the vapor pressure of a component in a solution is directly proportional to its mole fraction. Non-ideal solutions deviate from Raoult's law due to factors such as intermolecular interactions and molecular size differences.

<p>Henry's law states that the solubility of a gas in a liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of the gas above the liquid. It quantitatively relates the concentration of a gas in a solution to its partial pressure.</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>Some solutes, such as electrolytes, can exhibit abnormal colligative properties due to their ability to dissociate into multiple particles in solution. This leads to a greater number of solute particles and results in enhanced colligative effects.</p> Signup and view all the answers
