#1
Front (Question)

What are colligative properties

Back (Answer)

Are properties of a solution that change as you add more solute

#2
Front (Question)

Amount of solute and freezing points are directly or indirectly related?

Back (Answer)

indirectly related. As you increase the amount of solute, the freezing point decrease Ex: adding salt to ice

#3
Front (Question)

Amount of solute and boiling points are directly or indirectly related?

Back (Answer)

directly related

#4
Front (Question)

Basically, if you add a bunch of solute to a liquid. You are increasing that liquids ability to STAY ____??

Back (Answer)

A liquid. It decreases freezing point and increases boiling point

#5
Front (Question)

How do you calculate the change in freezing or boiling point? (Equation)

Back (Answer)

delta T = -iKm (freezing) delta T=+iKm (boiling) delta T= change in liqiods temp i= Van’t Hoff factor K=freezing OR boiling point constant (depending on what you are finding) m= solution’s molality (moles of solute/kg solvent)

#6
Front (Question)

What is the Van’t Hoff factor?

Back (Answer)

represented by “i”. is a number that increases as the number of molecules or ions in the solution increases. Ex: NaCl dissolves into TWO ions, i=2 Ex: Ca(NO3)2 dissolves into 3 ions, i=3 Ex: glucose doesn’t dissolve into ions, i=1

#7
Front (Question)

Why is “i” negative in the freezing point equation and positive in boiling point equation?

Back (Answer)

bc when you dissolve a solute in liquid the freezing point goes down (NEGATIVE) and the boiling point goes up (POSITIVE)

#8
Front (Question)

Amount of solute and boiling point and Vapor Pressure are directly or indirectly related?

Back (Answer)

BP & solute= direct BP & VP= indirect solute & VP= indirect

#9
Front (Question)

Raoult’s Law of Vapor Pressure depression?

Back (Answer)

Pa=Xa*Ppure Ppure= vapor pressure of original solvent Xa= % of solvent in new solution Pa= solutions NEW vapor pressure
