What are the four main colligative properties?
Relationship between adding a non-volatile solute and volume
Adding a non-volatile solute = decrease solvent per unit volume
- fewer solvent molecules will escape
- entropy of solution increases
- reduces the rate of vaporization
What is Raoult’s law?
P solution = (P solvent)(x solvent)
Van’t Hoff Factor
Ratio of moles of solute particles to moles of ionic formula units dissolved
Relationship between added solutes and entropy
Adding solute, increases entropy
Relationship between adding a solute and freezing point
Adding a solute decreases the freezing point
Equation to quantify how much the freezing point changes
ΔT = Tf(solution) - Tf(solvent)
Define boiling point
The temperature when the vapor pressure is the same as the atmospheric pressure
Relationship between adding solute and boiling point
Adding solute increases the boiling point
Define osmosis
The passage of a solvent through a semi-permeable membrane from the less concentrated to the more concentrated side
What happens when osmosis stops?
Equilibrium has been reached
Define isotonic solution
Two solutions have the same osmotic pressure
Define hypotonic solution
One solution has a lower osmotic pressure
Define hypertonic solution
One solution has a higher osmotic pressure
When a solution comes in contact with a pure solvent through a semipermeable membrane, this is referred to as
Reverse osmosis
Define dynamic equilibrium
Rate of forward reaction = rate of reverse reaction
Homogenous equilibrium vs. heterogenous equilibrium
Homogenous = multiple species of same phase
Heterogenous = species of more than one phase
What affects equilibrium?
Anything that affects reaction rates will also affect equilibrium
Differentiate between Q and K
Q = reaction constant = ratio of products to reactants at any given point in time
K = equilibrium constant = ratio of products to reactants at equilibrium
Q > K
Products decrease, reactants increase
The reaction will proceed backwards
Q < K
Products increase, reactants decrease
The reaction will proceed forward
Q = K
Products and reactants are at equilibrium
What is included in the equilibrium constant?
Just gases, pure liquids and solids are not included
K > 1
Product-favored
