UNIT 2 SOLUTION

Raoult’s Law:

pi = pio . Xi

pi – partial vapour pressure pi0 –


vapour pressure of the pure state

Xi – mole fraction of the solute

Raoult’s Law for a two component system:

Two liquids are volatile Mixing of

two liquids A and B pA – partial vapour

pressure of liquid A pB – partial vapour

pressure of liquid B

XA – mole fraction of liquid A XB – mole


fraction of liquid B pA0 – partial vapour
pressure of liquid A pB0 – partial vapour
pressure of liquid B p = pA + pB p =
pA0 . XA + pB0 . XB
0
PB

p – X diagram ( Vapour pressure Vs p = pA + pB


Mole fraction)
pB = pB0 . XB
XA + XB = 1 XA = 1 – XB p = vapour PA0
pA0 . ( 1 – XB ) + pB0 . XB p pressure
= pA0 – pA0 XB + pB0 . XB p pA = pA0 . XA
= (pB0 – pA0 ) XB + pA0

XA = 1 mole XA = 0
XB = 0 fraction XB = 1
Example 2.17:

Given data:

Liquid A – Ethanol Liquid B – Methanol


PA0 = 44.5 mm Hg PB0 = 88.7 mm Hg
wA = 60 g wB = 40 g WA = C2H5OH = (2 X12) + ( 6 X 1) + ( 1 X 16) = 46
g/mol

WB = CH3OH = ( 1 X 12) + ( 4 X 1) + (1 X 16) = 32 g / mol Solution:

According to Raoult’s law, p

= p A + pB

p = pA0 . XA + pB0 . XB pA

= pA0 . XA

nA = 60 / 46 = 1.304

nB = 40 / 32 = 1.25

n = nA + nB = 1.304 + 1.25 = 2.554

XA = nA / n = 1.304 / 2.554 = 0.51

XB = nB / n = 1.25 / 2.554 = 0.49 X A + XB = 1


pA = pA0 . XA = 44.5 X 0.51 = 22.695 mm Hg pB = pB0 . XB
= 88.7 X 0.49 = 43.463 mm Hg

Total pressure p = pA + pB = 22.695 + 43.463 = 66.158 mm Hg.

XB of vapour = pB / p = 43.463 / 66.158 = 0.6569

Example 2.18:

Given data:

Liquid A = cyclohexane Liquid B = Ethanol pA0


= 280 mm Hg pB0 = 168 mm Hg

XA = 0.32 XB = 1 – XA = 1- 0.32 = 0.68

The total pressure of the mixing solution is 376 mm Hg.


Solution:

According to Raoult’s law,


p = pA0 . X A + pB0 . X B

= (280 X 0.32) + ( 168 X 0.68)

= ( 89.6 ) + ( 114.24 )

= 203.84 mm Hg

Observed value is 376 mm Hg and calculated value is 203.84 so the value is


less than that of observed value. From this, the above solution is non ideal
and exhibit positive deviation of Raoult’s law.

Centimolar solution – 0.01 N in one litre

Bimolar solution – 2 N in one litre Osmosis:

The spontaneous flow of the solvent through a semi permeable membrane


from a pure solvent to a solution or from a dilute solution to a concentrated
solution is called osmosis.

Isotonic Solution:

When two solutions are separated by a semi-permeable membrane and no


osmosis occurs, i.e., there is no net flow of water on either side through the
membrane, the solutions are said to be isotonic solutions.

For solution 1 πV1 = n1RT For solution 2 πV2 = n2RT

For isotonic condition both are equal

V1 / V2 = n1 / n2

Since n/V represents molar concentration, we may conclude that isotonic


solutions posses the same molar concentration.

Hypertonic solution:

When a solution has a higher osmotic pressure as compared to some other


solution, it is termed as a hypertonic solution.

Hypotonic solution:
The solution having lower osmotic pressure as compared to some other
solution, it is referred to as hypotonic solution.

2.0 g of benzoic acid is dissolved in 25 g of benzene shows a depression of

freezing point equal to 1.62 K. Molal depression constant (Kf) of benzene is

4.9 K Kg mol-1. What is the percentage association of the acid?

Dissociation:

Electrolytic solute - split up into ions and conduct electricity eg NaCl.

Non – electrolytic solute – Glucose soluble but it does not conduct


electricity

Volatile solute & Non-volatile solute

Consider the electrolytic solute

NaCl Na+ + Cl-

Initial 1 mole - -

At equ. (1-α) α α

Total number of moles = 1- α + α + α

A decinormal solution of NaCl exerts an osmotic pressure of 4.6 atm at 300


K. Calculate its degree of dissociation.

Given data:

decinormal = 0.1 N in 1 Litre π = 4.6 atm T = 300 K Solution:

the van’t hoff equation is π V = i n R T

R = 0.0821

4.6 X 1 = i X 0.1 X 0.0821 X 300


i= 4.6 / ( 0.1 X 0.0821 X 300)
i= 4.6 / 2.463
i=1.8676

1+α = 1.8676
α = 0.8676

The degree of dissociation is 86.76%

Solute B = Glucose Given data:

1.7 % meaning is 1.7 g of silver nitrate dissociated into 100 mL of


water.

3.4 % meaning is 3.4 g of glucose soluble into 100 mL of water.

For silver nitrate solution

A solution containing 1.23 g of calcium nitrate in 10 g of water boils at


100.9750C at 760 mmHg. Calculate the van’t hoff factor for the salt at this
concentration. ( Kb = 0.52 K kg mol-1) Given data:

The colligative property is elevation of boiling point

ΔTb = i X Kb X m

ΔTb = T2- T1 = 100.975 – 100

= 0.975

Kb = 0.52 w = 1.23 g

W = Ca (NO3)2 = ( 1 X 40 ) + ( 2 X 14 ) + ( 6 X 16) = 40 + 28 + 96

= 164 g /mole

V = 10 g
Solution:

m = ( w / W ) X (1000 / V) = ( 1.23 / 164 ) X ( 1000 / 10) = 0.75

0.975 = iX 0.52 X 0.75


i= ( 0.975 ) / ( 0.52 X 0.75)
i=2.5

The van’t hoff factor for the salt at this concentration is 2.5
