Term
a property of a solution that depends only upon the number of solute particles, and not upon their identities; the boiling-point elevation, freezing-point depression, and vapor-pressure lowering
Definition
colligative properties
Term
what are three important colligative properties?
Definition
vapor pressure lowering, boiling point elevation, freezing point depression
Term
what is the decrease in a solutions vapor pressure proportional?
Definition
the number of particles the solute makes in solution
Term
the difference in temperature between the freezing point of a solution and the freezing point of the pure solvent
Definition
freezing point depression
Term
what is the magnitude of the freezing point depression proportional to?
Definition
the number of solute particles dissolved in the solvent and does not depend on their identity
Term
the difference in temperature between the boiling point of a solution and the boiling point of the pure solvent
Definition
boiling point elevation
Term
what is the magnitude of the boiling point elevation proportional to?
Definition
the number of soulte particles dissolved in the solvent
Term
what is vapor pressure?
Definition
the pressure exerted by a vapor that is in dynamic equilibrium with its liquid in a closed system
Term
what does volatile mean?
Definition
does not vaporize easily
Term
do nonvolatile solutions have a higher or lower vapor pressure?
Definition
lower
Term
what are two volatile substances?
Definition
glucose and sodium chloride
Term
do ionic solutes in solutions have a greater effect vapor pressure than other solutes?
Definition
yes
Term
why would NaCl lower the vapor pressure of a solution twice as much as potassium?
Definition
NaCl has two different elements and potassium only has one
Term
what happens to the structure of the particles of a substance when it freezes?
Definition
the particle structure becomes more organized
Term
whaat does a solute in water do to the structuring of the particles when the liquid turns to a solid?
Definition
it disrupts the arrangment of the particles and more energy must be withdrawn for the structure to happen
Term
do solutions have a lower or higher freezing point than solvents?
Definition
lower
Term
how much does one mole of solute lower the freezing point of water?
Definition
1.86 degrees celsius per 1000 grams of water
Term
how many degrees does the addition of 2 moles of solute lower the freezing point?
Definition
2 times 1.86 degrees celsius per 1000 grams of water
Term
how many degrees does the boiling point rise when 1 mole of solute is added?
Definition
0.512 degrees celsius per 1000 grams of water
