Colligative Properties. Depend on the concentration of solute particles, but not on chemical identity. In the case of a solute that does not ionize, “concentration of solute particles” has the same meaning as “solute concentration”. Some Colligative Properties. Vapor pressure lowering

Colligative Properties • Depend on the concentration of solute particles, but not on chemical identity. • In the case of a solute that does not ionize, “concentration of solute particles” has the same meaning as “solute concentration”.
Some Colligative Properties • Vapor pressure lowering • Boiling point elevation • Freezing point depression • Osmotic pressure
Why Vapor Pressure Lowering? • Results when a non-volatile solute is dissolved in a volatile solvent. • Only some of the surface molecules have the ability to vaporize, compared to all of the surface molecules in the case of a pure solvent. • As a result, the vapor pressure of the solution is less than that of a pure solvent.

An Interesting Illustration of the Difference in Vapor Pressure Between Solvent and Solution
Raoult’s Law • P = X . Po • Obeyed exactly, only for ideal solutions • For non-ideal solutions, Raoult’s law is more closely followed for dilute solutions
Raoult’s Law Applied to Both Solvent and Solute (when both are volatile) • P = X . Po • P = X . Po • P = P + P = X . Po+ X . Po= (1-X) .Po+ X . Po
Vapor Pressure Lowering Changes the Boiling and Freezing Points
Equations for Boiling Point Elevation and Freezing Point Depression • DTb = Tb – Tob and DTb= Kb. cm • DTf = Tf – Tof and DTf = -Kf. cm
