Colligative Properties Summary
Colligative Properties
- Definition: Properties of dilute solutions that depend on the number of solute particles.
Relative Lowering of Vapor Pressure (RLVP)
- P<em>AoP<em>A−P</em>S=X</em>B
- For dilute solutions: n</em>An<em>B=X<em>B where nA >> n_B
- For all solutions: P<em>SP<em>Ao−P</em>S=nBn</em>A
Elevation in Boiling Point
- ΔT<em>b=T</em>b−T<em>bo=K</em>bm
- T<em>b(H</em>2O)=373K=100oC
- K<em>b=1000ΔH</em>vapMRT2
Depression in Freezing Point
- ΔT<em>f=T</em>fo−T<em>f=K</em>fm
- K<em>f=1000ΔH</em>vapMRT2
