Where โiโ is the moles of one component of the solute. Total moles are all species: mols solute (i) + mols solvent
โXi^ =^1
The sum of all of the mole fractions for each component are 1 exactly.

Changes in vapor pressure: Raoultโs Law
Chem. 1A Colligative Properties Discussion 10
Psolution = X (^) solvent ร Po
Psolution = the vapor pressure of a mixture of solute and solvent Po^ = the vapor pressure of the pure solvent X (^) solvent = the mole fraction of the solvent. ******
The expression can also be written in the form: o ฮP (^) solvent = โX (^) soluteรP
Raoultโs Law
ฮP is the change to the vapor pressure of the pure solvent.

BoilingBoiling andand FreezingFreezing pointpoint effectseffects involvinginvolving ions:ions: When solutions containing ions are involved, the total concentration of solute particles must be considered. The change in b.p. or f.p. is given by the equation: ฮT = K ร m รi Where m is the calculated molaity based on formula wt. โiโ = the number of ions (vanโt Hoff factor) compound Type i CH 3 OH molecular 1 NaCl strong electrolyte 2 Ba(NO 3 ) 2 strong electrolyte 3 HNO 2 weak electrolyte 1 โ 2

A semipermeable membrane allows only the movement of solvent molecules.
Solvent Solution
Semipermeable membrane
Solvent molecules move from pure solvent to solution in an attempt to make both have the same concentration of solute.
