Preparing Solutions

  • //TODO

Nature of Dissolved Species

  • non-covalent interactions between solutes and solvents
  • solution must replace solute-solute and solvent-solvent interactions with solvent-solute interactions

Reaction Stoichiometry

  • all have molarity
  • to balance

Titrations

  • quantify a reactive component of a solution
  • given and solution with
  • we can add solution until is consumed
  • then calculate moles of to get
  • used to determine
    • pH
  • aka acidity
  • Arrhenius:
    • disproportionation reaction
    • acid: increases
    • base: increases
    • example: phenolphthalein

Phase Equilibrium in Solution for Non-Volatile Solutes

  • vapor pressure of a solution changes with
  • mole fraction of solvent
  • vapor pressure of pure solvent
  • graph should look like

  • Raoult’s Law: should be straight line
    • forms basis for

Colligative Properties

Vapor Pressure lowering

  • for a 2-component solution

Boiling Point Elevation

  • lower vapor pressure higher BP
  • : change in BP
  • : constant, table 11.2 in book
  • : molarity

Freezing Point Depression

Osmotic Pressure

  • given semipermeable membrane in solution
