Introduction:

In this chapter, we will discuss about liquid solutions and their formation. This will be followed by
studying the properties of solutions, like vapour pressure and colligative properties. We will
begin with types of solutions and expressions for concentration of solutions in different units.

Thereafter, we will state and explain Henry’s law and Raoult’s law, distinguish between ideal and

non-ideal solution and deviation of real solutions from Raoult’s law. We will also discuss
abnormal colligative properties alongwith association and dissociation of solute.

Types of Solutions

79 ha
All the three states of matter (solid, liquid and gas) may behave either as solvent or solute. When
a solution is composed of only two chemical substances, it is termed as binary solution.

Some Important Definitions

• Mixture - When two or more chemically non-reacting substances are mixed, they form
mixture.

• Heterogeneous Mixture - It consists of distinct phases, and the observed properties are
just the sum of the properties of individual phases.

• Homogeneous Mixture - It consists of a single phase which has properties that may differ
from one of the individual components.

• Solution - The homogeneous mixture of two or more components such that at least one
component is a liquid is called solution.

• Solvent - It is the constituent of solution which has same physical state as that of solution
and generally present in greater amount than all the other components.

• Solute - The component of a solution other than solvent is called solute, may or may not
have same physical state as that of solution. Generally it is in smaller amount.

r
Si
Example - In a sugar syrup (liquid solution) containing 60% sugar (solid) and 40% water
(liquid), water is termed as solvent, due to same physical state as that of solution.

Expressing the Strength of Solution

72 rm
For a given solution the amount of solute dissolved per unit volume of solution is called
concentration of solute. Strength of solution is the amount of solute in grams dissolved in one

Solubility

Solubility of a substance is its maximum amount that can be dissolved in a specified amount of
solvent at a specified temperature. It depends upon the nature of solute and solvent as well as
97 ya

temperature and pressure. Let us consider the effect of these factors in solution of a solid or a
gas in a liquid.
Sh

1. Solubility of Solid in Liquid

A solute dissolves in a solvent if the intermolecular interactions are similar in them, i.e., like
dissolves like. Polar solute dissolves in polar solvent and non-polar solute in non-polar
r.

solvent. For e.g., sodium chloride and sugar dissolves readily in water and napthalene and
D

anthracene dissolves readily in benzene.

Solute + Solvent ⟶ Solution
y

i. Dissolution: When a solid solute is added to the solvent, some solute dissolves and its
B

concentration increases in solution. This process is called dissolution.

ii. Crystallization: Some solute particles collide with solute particles in solution and get
separated out. This process is called crystallization.
iii. Saturated solution: Such a solution in which no more solute can be dissolved at the
same temperature and pressure is called a saturated solution.
iv. Unsaturated solution: An unsaturated solution is one in which more solute can be
dissolved at the same temperature.
v. Effect of temperature: In general, if in a nearly saturated solution, the dissolution
process is endothermic, the solubility should increase with rise in temperature, if it is
exothermic, the solubility should decrease with rise in temperature.

 SOLUTIONS
01

vi. Effect of pressure: Solids and liquids are highly incompressible, so pressure does not
have any significant effect on solubility of solids and liquids.
vii. Supersaturated solution: When more solute can be dissolved at higher temperature in
a saturated solution, then the solution becomes supersaturated.
2. Solubility of Gas in Liquid
All gases are soluble in water as well as in other liquids to a greater or lesser extent. The
solubility of a gas in liquid depends upon the following factors Nature of the gas, Nature of

r
solvent, Temperature and Pressure.

Si
Generally, the gases which can be easily liquified are more soluble in common solvents. For
e.g., CO2 is more soluble than hydrogen or oxygen in water. The gases which are capable of

a
forming ions in aqueous solutions are much more soluble in water than other solvents. For

72 rm
e.g., HCl and NH3 are highly soluble in water but not in organic solvents (like benzene) in
which they do not ionize.
i. Effect of temperature: Solubility of most of the gases in liquids decreases with rise in

79 ha
temperature. In dissolution of a gas in liquid, heat is evolved and thus this is an
exothermic process. The dissolution process involves dynamic equilibrium and thus
86 S
follows Le Chatelier’s principle. As dissolution is exothermic the solubility of gas should
decrease with rise in temperature.
13 m

ii. Effect of pressure: Henry’s law: At constant temperature, the solubility of a gas in a
liquid is directly proportional to the pressure of the gas.
97 ya

p = KH x,
KH = Henry’s law constant.

3. At high altitudes, the partial pressure of O2 is less then that at the ground level.
y

This leads to low concentrations of O2 in the blood of climbers which causes

B

‘anoxia’.
Vapour Pressure of Solution

It is the pressure exerted by vapour on the surface layer of liquid at equilibrium between
vapour and liquid.

Factors affecting Vapour Pressure

i. Nature of liquid - Liquid with higher intermolecular attraction forces form less amount of
vapour and hence lower vapour pressure and vice-versa.

Shivshakti Nagar, Bicholi Hapsi Main Road, Near Bangali Square, Indore 452016 (4)
 SOLUTIONS
01

ii. Temperature - Vapour pressure increases with temperature of liquid. This is because, as
temperature increases, kinetic energy of the molecules increases, hence, more molecules
leave the surface of the liquid and come into vapour phase.
Raoult’s Law

According to Raoult’s law, for a solution of volatile liquids, the relative lowering of vapour
pressure of solution is directly proportional to its mole fraction of dissolved solvent in solute.

The ideal solutions have also the following characteristics:

1) Heat change on mixing is zero: Since there is no change in magnitude of the attractive
forces in the two components present, the heat change on mixing i.e. ΔmixingH in such solutions
must be zero.

Composition in Vapour Phase

The composition of vapour phase in equilibrium with the solution is determined by the partial
pressure of the components. If y1and y2 are the mole fraction of the two components 1 and 2
respectively in the vapour phase, then according to Dalton’s law of partial pressures:

In ethyl alcohol, the molecules are held together due to hydrogen bonding. When cyclohexane is
added to ethyl alcohol, the molecules of cyclohexane tend to occupy the spaces between ethyl

alcohol molecules. Consequently, some hydrogen bonds in alcohol molecules break and the
D

attractive forces in alcohol molecules are weakened. The escaping tendency of alcohol and
cyclohexane molecules from the solution increases. Consequently, the vapour pressure of the

solution is greater than the vapour pressure as expected according to Raoult’s law.
B

(i) Δmixing H is positive because energy is required to break A-A or B-B attractive forces.
Therefore, dissolution process is endothermic.

(ii) Because of the decrease in the magnitude of intermolecular forces in solutions, the molecules
will be loosely held and, therefore, there will be increase in volume on mixing. Thus, Δmixing V
will be positive.

(iii) Since the dissolution process in endothermic, heating will increase the solubility of such a
solution.

When acetone and chloroform are mixed there are new attractive forces due to intermolecular
hydrogen bonding. Thus the attractive forces become stronger and the escaping tendency of each
liquid from the solution decreases. Therefore, the vapour pressure of the solution is less than that
expected for an ideal solution.

(i) ΔmixingH is negative because energy is released due to increase in attractive forces. Therefore,
dissolution process is exothermic and heating the solution will decrease solubility.

B

For one of the intermediate composition, the total vapour pressure of such a solution will
be the highest and the boiling point will be the lowest. At this point, the composition of
liquid and vapour phase is same and the liquid mixture boils at constant temperature and
remains unchanged in composition. Therefore, this liquid mixture distills over as if it is a
pure liquid. Solution acquires the property of boiling at constant temperature and remains
unchanged in composition.

The solutions (liquid mixtures) which boil at constant temperature and can distil
unchanged in composition are called azeotropes or azeotropic mixtures. Thus, the

azeotropes distil over as if it were pure liquids. These types of solutions are
called minimum boiling azeotropes.

For example: Ethanol and water form minimum boiling azeotrope. It has maximum in the
vapour pressure curve and hence a minimum in the boiling point diagram. In this boiling
point diagram, we indicate the composition of the vapour phase by the upper curve and
composition of the liquid phase by the lower curve.

b) In the case of solutions showing negative deviations, total vapour pressure becomes

y
B

For one of the intermediate composition, the total vapour pressure will be the least and
the boiling point will be the highest. At this composition, the solution also boils at constant
temperature without a change in composition. This is also called azeotrope.

The solutions which show negative deviations from Raoult’s law are called maximum
boiling azeotropes because they have a composition having maximum boiling point

For example: hydrochloric acid and water form maximum boiling point azeotrope at the
composition x(H2O)=0.889 and x (HCl)=0.111 (or 20.2% HCl) which boils at 381.6 K (or
108.6°C) which has higher than that of pure water.

Nitric acid (HNO3) and water also form maximum boiling azeotrope. The azeotrope has the
approximate composition 68% nitric acid and 32% water by mass with a boiling point of
393.5 K.

Thus, the azeotropes are liquid mixtures of definite composition, which boil at constant
boiling point. These cannot be separated into pure components by fractional distillation.

Colligative Properties

ii. Relative Elevation of boiling point
A liquid boils at the temperature at which its vapour pressure is equal to the atmospheric
pressure. The boiling point of a solution of non-volatile solute is always higher than that of
the boiling point of pure solvent in which the solution is prepared. Similar to lowering of
vapour pressure, the elevation of boiling point also depends on the number of solute

particles rather than their nature.

Let T° be the boiling point of pure solvent and T be the boiling point of solution. The increase

Abnormal Molecular Masses
The accurate values of molar masses can be obtained only if the following two conditions are

 SOLUTIONS
01

concentrated solutions, the particles begin to interact with each other as well as with the
solvent. As a result, the vapour pressure and therefore, other colligative properties depend
upon the nature of the solute and not just on the number of solute particles.
(ii) The solute must not dissociate or associate in solution
The equations derived for measuring the colligative properties are for non-electrolyte solutes
which do not undergo any dissociation or association in the solution.

r
Discrepancies in determination of molar mass arise when the solute dissociate or associate on

Si
dissolving in a solvent. This is because due to the association or the dissociation of the solute
molecules in the solution, the number of molecules undergo a change.

a
The discrepancy in molar mass is called abnormal molar mass. The abnormal molar masses is

72 rm
due to association or dissociation of solute particles.
Association of Solute Particles

79 ha
In certain solvents, generally non-polar, the solute molecules undergo association i.e. two,
three or even more molecules exist in combination with each other to form bigger molecules.
For example: suppose n simple molecules combine to form an associated molecule as:
86 S
nA ⇔ An
13 m
97 ya

Therefore, the total number of molecules in solution become less than the number of
molecules of the substance added and, therefore, colligative properties will be lower. Since the
colligative properties are inversely proportional to the molar mass of the solute, the molar
Sh

masses in such cases will be greater than the theoretical values.

For example: In benzene solvent, both ethanoic acid (acetic acid) and benzoic acid exist as
r.

dimers as:
D

2CH3COOH ⇔ (CH3COOH)2
y
B

2C6H5COOH ⇔ (C6H5COOH)2

The molar masses of ethanoic acid and benzoic acid have been found to be nearly 120 and 244
which are about double than their normal values of 60 and 122. The association of solute
molecules in a solution is generally due to the hydrogen bonding between these molecules.

For example: benzoic acid and ethanoic acid exist as dimers due to the formation of hydrogen
bonds. Due to association of ethanoic acid or benzoic acid, the ΔTf or ΔTb value will be about
half of the normal value. Therefore, the molar mass calculated on the basis of ΔT will be about
twice the expected value.

Dissociation of Solute Molecules

Molecules of certain substances (acids, bases and salts) dissociate or ionise in a solvent to give
two or more particles.

For example: AB dissociates to give double number of particles as:

r
AB ⇔ A+ + B–

Si
The total number of particles increases in solution and, therefore, the colligative properties of
such solutions will be large. Since colligative properties are inversely proportional to molar

a
mass, the observed molar mass will be less than the theoretical value.

72 rm
For example, KCl dissociates to give K+ and Cl– ions.

86 S
If we dissolve 1 mol of KCl (74.5 g) in water, we expect 1 mol of K+ and 1 mol of Cl– ions to be

produced in the solution. Therefore, there would be 2 mol of particles in the solution instead
of 1 mol. Consequently, the colligative properties would also be about double than expected.

Van’t Hoff Factor

r.

In 1886, Van’t Hoff introduced a factor called Van’t Hoff factor, i , to express the extent of
D

association or dissociation of solutes in solution. It is the ratio of the normal and observed
molar masses (or abnormal molar mass) of the solute, i.e.
y
B

Normal molar mass

i=
Observed molar mass

In case of association, observed molar mass being more than the normal, the factor i has a
value less than 1.

But in case of dissociation, the Van’t Hoff factor is more than 1 because the observed molar
mass has a lesser value.

In case of solutes which do not undergo any association or dissociation in a solvent, the Van’t
Hoff factor i will be equal to 1 because the observed and normal molar masses will be same.

Since the molar masses are inversely proportional to the colligative property. Van’t Hoff factor
may also be expressed as:

Van’t Hoff factor can be used to calculate the extent of dissociation or association in terms of
degree of dissociation or association of a substance in solution.
Sh

(i) Degree of dissociation: It is defined as the fraction of total substance that undergoes
dissociation into ions, i.e.
r.

Degree of dissociation = No. of moles of the substance dissociated / Total number of moles of
D

the substance taken

Suppose a molecule of an electrolyte gives n ions after dissociation. Then if we start with 1

For example: suppose n simple molecules of the solute associate to form the associated

If we start with 1 mole of A and α is the degree of association, the concentration of the species
after association is

pressure of the gas in equilibrium with the solution". Dalton during the same period also

(a) Molar mass of KI = 39 + 127 = 166

B

20% (mass/mass) aqueous solution of KI means 20 g of KI is present in 100 g of solution.

That is,
20 g of KI is present in (100 – 20) g of water = 80 g of water
Therefore, molality of the solution=

= 1.506 m
= 1.51 m (approximately)
