any property of solution that depends on the number of dissolved particles, not on their identity or properties
colligative property
pressure exerted by a vapor when it is in equilibrium with a liquid phase of the same substance
vapor pressure (higher temp means higher vapor pressure)
means not easily vaporized
nonvolatile
true or false: a nonvolatile solute raises the vapor pressure of the solvent
false; it lowers the vapor pressure
is the lowering of vapor pressure in a solution a colligative property?
yes
temperature at which the vapor pressure of the liquid equals the atmospheric pressure
boiling point
increase in a substance’s boiling point caused by the presence of a nonvolatile solute
boiling point elevation
decrease in a substance’s freezing point caused by the presence of a solute
freezing point depression
true or false: boiling point elevation and freezing point depression are colligative properties
true
substances that do not ionize or dissociate in aqueous solutions to produce ions that can conduct electricity
nonelectrolytes
compounds that dissolve in water to produce ions that can conduct an electrical current
electrolytes
dissociate or ionize essentially completely in water to give solutions that are good conductors
strong electrolytes
do not dissociate completely in water; solutions are poor conductors of electricity
weak electrolytes
permit the passage of some molecules but not others
semipermeable membranes
net movement of solvent across a semipermeable membrane from a more dilute solution to a more concentrated solution
osmosis
pressure that must be applied to the more concentrated solution to prevent osmosis
osmotic pressure
what is the direction of solvent flow?
from the more dilute solution to the more concentrated solution
basically pure water
hypotonic solution
solution with the water concentration higher than 0.3 mol/L
hypertonic solution
heterogeneous mixture containing tiny clumps or particles that remain suspended within the mixture
colloid (colloidal particles prove kinetic theory of matter)
phenomenon in which light is scattered by a colloid, producing a light blue tinge
Tyndall effect
random movement of colloidal particles caused by collisions with solvent particles
Brownian motion
attraction of a substance to the surface of a solid
adsorption
device that uses charged wires to precipitate particles from air
electrostatic precipitator
