Solutions Quiz

Types of Solutions

• Ideal solutions are rarely found in normal life, whereas real solutions are most commonly found.

Properties of Brass

• Brass is an example of a solution, which is a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances.
• It is an alloy of copper and zinc.

Ideal Solutions

• Raoult's law explains the behavior of ideal solutions, which states that the partial pressure of each component of an ideal solution is equal to the vapor pressure of the pure component multiplied by its mole fraction.
• Ideal solutions are those that obey Raoult's law.

Real Solutions

• Real solutions deviate from Raoult's law due to the interactions between the solute and solvent molecules, such as intermolecular forces and molecular size differences.
• These interactions cause the solution to behave differently from an ideal solution.

Abnormal Colligative Properties

• Some solutes exhibit abnormal colligative properties, such as boiling point elevation, freezing point depression, and osmotic pressure, which are different from those expected based on the concentration of the solute.
• Examples of such solutes include electrolytes, which dissociate in solution, and macromolecules, which have a large molecular size.
