Colligative Properties
Reading assignment: • Zumdahl: Chapter 16.10-16.11, 17.5-17.7
The properties of a solution depends on the amount of dissolved solute in the solution. Properties which depend on the amount of solute, but not the identity of the compound are called colligative properties.

Raoult’s Law
The vapor pressure of an ideal solution is equal to the sum of the vapor pressure of each component times its mole fraction.

P°A is thevapor pressureof pure A.
AP BP totalP A B
If the solventor solute is non-volatile,
then P ° for that species is zero.

Raoult’s Law Application
Distillation: The separation of one component from a solution by boiling and condensation of the vapor.

Benzene-Toluene Distillation
One mole of benzene is mixed with three moles of toluene.
What will be the vapor pressure of the solution at 88 C.
• Benzene (C6H6) and toluene (C6H5CH3) form an ideal solution.
• Pbenzene is 960 torr at 88 C
• Ptoluene is 380 torr at 88 C
What other questions could be asked?

Benzene-Toluene Distillation
One mole of benzene is mixed with three moles of toluene.
What will be the composition of the vapor that is condensed?
04/19/23
Distillation
Distillation separates one compound from another because the vapor and the solution have different compositions.
How could you make a solution containing two volatile components very pure?

Fractional Distillation
04/19/23
Not All Compounds can be Separated by Distillation
Non-ideal solutions that have the same composition in solution and the vapor are called azeotropes.• Isopropanol (BP 82 C) and water
(BP 100 C) forms a 80.4 C azeotrope of composition isopropanol = 0.878, water = 0.122

Colligative Properties
A physical property of a solution which depends upon the concentration of the solute, but not its nature or identity.
Examples:• Vapor pressure lowering• Boiling point elevation

Vapor Pressure Lowering
Why does the dissolution of a non-volatile soluteresult in a lower solution vapor pressure
than the pure solvent?

Boiling Point Elevation
T is the increase in boiling point kb is the boiling point (ebullioscopic) constant
· kb = 0.512 Km-1 for water m is the molality of the solution

i is the multiplicative factor to account for ions
• if a compound does not ionize then there is one particle per molecule and i = 1.
• if a compound breaks into two ions then i = 2, etc.

Historical Perspective
Colligative properties were important to the early chemists because it provided information about the molecular weight or degree of ionization of the solute.
