Isotonic

The effect of solute concentration on vapor pressure

14
Q

What is Raoult’s law and what does each value correspond to?

A

Pa = Pa0 (1 - xb)

  • Pa = vapor pressure of solution
  • Pa0 = vapor pressure of pure solvent
  • Xb = mole-fraction of solute
  • Xa = mole-fraction of solvent (Xa + Xb = 1)
15

A

17.54 mmHg

16
Q

Temperature at which vapor pressure of a liquid is equal o the external atmospheric pressure of 760 mmHg

17
Q

What happens to vapor pressure when a non-volatile solute is added, and what does this mean for boiling point?

A
  • Vapor pressure is lowered

- Solution must be brought to a higher temp than the pure solvent to reach the boiling point

18
Q

What is freezing point (with respect to pressure)?

A

Temperature where solid and liquid phases of a solution are in equilibrium at a pressure of 1 atmosphere

19
Q

What is the formula for boiling point elevation?

A
  • Delta Tb = (Kb)(m)
  • Tb = increase in temperature required
  • Kb = proportionality constant
  • m = molal strength of the solute
20
Q

What is the boiling point proportionality constant for water?

A

0.515 C

21
Q

What is the formula for freezing point depression?

A
  • Delta Tf = (Kf)(m)
  • Tf = lowering of freezing point
  • Kf = proportionality constant
  • m = molal strength of solute
22
Q

A

1.858 C

23
Q

A

Colligative properties

24

A

18.2 g

26
Q

How many grams of glycerin dissolved in 1000 g of water will produce a 0.1 molal solution?

A

9.2 g

27
Q

Why are colligative properties different for identical molal electrolyte solutions?

A

Each ion will act as a particle, so the colligative properties will be a function of the degree of ionization

28

When in solution, how many particles will Na3citrate produce?

A

Four particles

29
Q

What is a millimole?

A

1/1000 of the molecular weight in grams

30
Q

The molecular weight of the substance divided by the valence

31
Q

What is milliequivalents related to?

A

Total number of ionic charges

32

A

mOsmol

33

A

1 mmol b/c dextrose in a non-electrolyte

34
Q

What will 1 mmol of NaCl be in mOsmol?

A

2 (assuming 100% ionization, will dissociate into 2 ions)

35
Q

What happens to electrolyte solutions as concentration increases (with respect to dissociation and osmolarity)?

A

More interactions btwn solute particles, so electrolyte dissociation is less than 100%, so measured osmolarity will be less than calculated
