A comprehensive overview of solutions, including their types, units of concentration, and the concept of raoult's law. It delves into the differences between ideal and non-ideal solutions, and explores the various colligative properties of solutions, such as relative lowering of vapor pressure, osmotic pressure, elevation of boiling point, and depression of freezing point. The document also discusses the determination of molecular mass using colligative properties, as well as the concept of abnormal molar mass and van't hoff factor. This detailed information can be useful for students studying chemistry at the university level, particularly in courses related to physical chemistry, analytical chemistry, or general chemistry.

A homogeneous mixture of two or more non-reacting substances is known as solution. Homogeneity or heterogeneity depends upon particle size and states of matter present in the solution. Every solution is made up of a solvent (present in larger quantity) and one or more solute (present in smaller quantity).

Different methods for expressing concentration of solution - molality, molarity, mole fraction, percentage (by volume and mass both), vapour pressure of solutions and Raoult’s Law - Ideal and non-ideal solutions, vapour pressure - composition, plots for ideal and non-ideal solutions; Colligative properties of dilute solutions - relative lowering of vapour pressure, depression of freezing point, elevation of boiling point and osmotic pressure; Determination of molecular mass using colligative properties; Abnormal value of molar mass, van’t Hoff factor and its significance.
M × V in cc = 1000 M
mM = millimoles Molarity changes with temperature of the solution. Increase in temperature decreases the molarity. It is the most convenient method to express concentration of the solution. On dilution molarity decreases. (ii) Molality (m) : No. of moles (n) of solute present per kg of solvent

It is independent of temperature since no volume factor is involved in the equation. (iii) Mole fraction (x) It is the ratio of no. of moles of one component to the total no. of moles present in the solution. For a system having two components A and B.

% by weight is independent of temperature while % by vol., % by strength or strength are temperature dependent.
The pressure exerted by the vapours at the free surface of liquid provided system is closed is known as its vapour pressure. The V.P. of a pure liquid is always greater than its solution (In case of non volatile solute). (a) Raoult’s Law for a solution having non volatile solute

than that of the pure solvent and vapour pressure increases with increase in temperature. Hence the solution has to be heated more to make the vapour pressure equal to the atmospheric pressure.
Alternatively, the elevation in boiling point may be explained on the bais of plots of vapour pressure versus temperature as follows :
Vapour pressure of the solvent increases with increase in temperature as shown by the curve AB. As at any temperature, vapour pressure of the solution is less than that of the solvent, the curve for the solution lies below that of the solvent, as shown by the curve CD. The temperatures at which the vapour pressure of the solvent and the solution become equal to the atmospheric pressure are T 0 and T respectively. Obviously T > T 0. The difference, called the elevation in boiling point, T b , is given by
T b = T – T 0
Molal elevation constant or ebulioscopic constant, kb. It is the increase in boiling point when the molality of the solution is unity.

(d) Depression in freezing point : The property of decrease in freezing point when some non-volatile solute is dissolved. The depression in freezing point is given by T f Freezing point : Temperature at which the liquid and the solid forms of the same substance are in equilibrium and hence have same vapour pressure.
We know that vapour pressure of the solution is less than that of the pure solvent. As freezing point is the temperature at which the vapour pressure of the liquid and the solid phase are equal, therefore for the solution, this will occur at lower temperature (lower the temperature lower the vapour pressure). The graph explains this.
