Solutions Part 4
Colligative Properties • Physical properties of solutions that are affected by the number of particles, not the identity of the particles. • Include: • Vapor pressure lowering • Boiling point elevation • Freezing point depression
Electrolytes NaCl Na+ + Cl- • When sodium chloride is dissolved in water, the compound dissociates almost completely into ions • A 1m solution of NaCl produces 2m of ions • Solutions with electrolytes conduct electricity
Practice • How many ions do each of the following dissociate into? • MgCl2 • Ca(OH)2 • Fe3(PO4)2 • C6H12O6
Non-Electrolytes • Solutions with non-electrolytes do not conduct electricity • Non-electrolytes dissolve, but do not ionize • Colligative properties depend on the number of particles in solution
Vapor Pressure Lowering • Vapor pressure is the result of atoms at the surface evaporating and exerting pressure on the surface • Solutes interfere with this process, thus lowering the vapor pressure • The greater the number of particles of solute, the lower the vapor pressure
Boiling Point Elevation • Because the vapor pressure has been lowered, it takes more kinetic energy to boil the solution compared to the pure solvent • BPE is the difference in boiling point temperature ΔTb = Kbm Kb – boiling point elevation constant
Boiling Point Elevation • What is the boiling point elevation of a 0.029m NaCl solution? (Kb of water = 0.512 °C/m)
Freezing Point Depression • The solute particles interfere with the ability of the solvent to form a solid. • The freezing point of a solution is lower than the freezing point of a solvent. ΔTf = Kfm
Freezing Point Depression • What is the freezing point depression of a 0.029m MgCl2 solution? (Kf of water = 1.86 °C/m)
Freezing Point Depression • Which would be more effective to use to prevent roads from icing over, NaCl or MgCl2?
