Example Problem
A () has a density of . What is the molality?
- Assume solution
- Calculate total mass
- Find mass of
- Find molality
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
