Colligative Properties
Colligative Properties
of Solution
Describe the effect of concentration on the colligative
properties of solutions;
➢ Gas
- Inversely proportional relationship
2. Polarity
- “Like dissolves like”
3. Pressure
- Has an effect on the solubility of gases in a gas-liquid
solution, but not evident in solids and liquids
- Directly proportional relationship
4. Molecular size
- Larger molecules are more difficult to dissolve
- Smaller particles are more soluble
5. Stirring
- Increases speed of dissolving as movement of particles is
increased
Solutions that depend on the number of solute particles
in a solution
TFP = - (Kf)(m)
What will be the freezing point of a solution of 180 g
of ethylene glycol (MM = 62 g/mol) in 600 g of water?
How to solve?
1. Get the molality
2. Use the equation: TFP = - (Kf)(m)
1. Calculate the boiling and freezing point of a
solution prepared by dissolving 68g of glucose
in 800g of water.
- Directly proportional to the number of solute particles
in a solution
ΔTb = (Kb)(m)
Which solution has a higher BP? Why?
