A true solution : • A true solution is formed when soluble substances are dissolved in the solvent. The sizes of the particles dissolved are very small of the order of 10–8 cm. True solutions are homogeneous and cannot be separated into components by simple mechanical methods.

A true solution is defined as a homogeneous f

mixture of two or more substances, the composition of which is not fixed and may be varied within certain limits.A solution is formed by two components, solvent f

and one or more solutes. The component of the solution which constitutes larger part of the solution is called solvent and the other component that constitutes smaller part is called solute.

Homogeneous solution : • Solution is homogeneous if its composition is uniform throughout the body of the solution.Heterogeneous solution : • Solution is heterogeneous when two or more phases are present in it.Solvation : • The process of interaction of solvent molecules with solute particles to form aggregates. When water is a solvent, the process of solvation is called hydration or aquation.

The extent to which solute dissolves in solvent to f

form homogeneous solution depends on nature of solute and solvent.The general rule is, like dissolves like f i.e., polar

2.1 IntroductionTwo-third of the earth is covered with water, the most essential, vital component for life. Water in the sea is not in pure form. It contains sodium chloride, magnesium chloride, calcium salts and gases like oxygen, carbon dioxide in dissolved state. Thus, sea water is a ‘solution’. Solution consists of at least two components, a medium and dissolved phase. The physical properties of solution are mainly originated by intermolecular forces of attraction between the solvent molecules. These intermolecular forces of attraction are changed by the presence of dissolved substances. The physical properties include vapour pressure, boiling point, freezing point and osmotic pressure.

SolutionsSolutions are mixtures of two or more components. Depending on sizes of the components, the mixtures are classified into three types :

A coarse mixture : • It is formed when the sizes of the constituent components are relatively bigger, e.g.; mixture of salt and sugar.A colloidal dispersion : • It is formed when the sizes of the particles dispersed in solvent are in the range of 10–7 cm to 10–4 cm. Colloidal particles carry positive or negative charge which stabilizes colloidal dispersion e.g.; ferric hydroxide sol, arsenic sulphide sol, etc. Colloidal solutions are heterogeneous and can be easily separated.

47Solutions and Colligative Properties

solutes are soluble in polar solvents, (e.g.; NaCl in water) while non-polar solutes are soluble in non-polar solvents (e.g.; iodine in CCl4).

Water is called • universal solvent, as it is polar and has very high dielectric constant, hence, dissolves most of the polar solutes.Solutions containing two, three or four components •are called binary, ternary and quaternary solutions respectively.Solutions prepared in water are called • aqueous solutions and solutions in other solvents are called non-aqueous solutions.As the solute particles are very small, the components •of true solutions cannot be separated by simple physical methods like centrifugation, filtration, etc.

2.3 Concentration of Solutions of Solids in Liquids

The concentration of a solution is defined as the amount •of solute dissolved in a specific amount of solvent.Solutions containing relatively less amount of solute are •called dilute solutions and if it contains relatively more amount of solute then the solution is called concentrated solution.Concentration of solutions may be expressed in different •ways as discussed below :

Depending upon the quantity of solute dissolved in a •liquid solvent, solutions can be of three types :

Saturated solution : f A solution which cannot dissolve any further amount of solute at a given temperature is called saturated solution.

Unsaturated solution : f A solution in which more amount of the solute can be dissolved at a given temperature is called unsaturated solution.Supersaturated solution : f A solution in which amount of solute is more than it can dissolve at a particular temperature is called supersaturated solution.

Solubility • of a substance is its maximum amount that can be dissolved in a specified amount of solvent at a specified temperature.Factors affecting solubility of a solid in a liquid : •

Effect of temperature : f If the dissolution process is endothermic −(DsolH > 0), the solubility increases with rise in temperature.If dissolution process is exothermic −(DsolH < 0) the solubility decreases with rise in temperature.

Effect of pressure : f Pressure does not have any significant effect on solubility of solids in liquids as these are highly incompressible.

2.4 Solubility of Gases in LiquidsGases are soluble in liquids including water. The solubility of gases like O2, N2, etc. are much low. O2 molecules being non-polar, have less solubility in polar solvent, water. CO2 and NH3 gases are more soluble in water as CO2 reacts with water to form carbonic acid and NH3 reacts with water to form ammonium hydroxide. HCl gas is polar, its solubility is very high in water, forming hydrochloric acid.

Factors affecting solubility of a gas in a liquid : •Effect of pressure : f The solubility of gas increases with the increase in external pressure.Henry’s law - It states that the solubility of a gas in a liquid at constant temperature is proportional to the pressure of the gas above the solution.

S ∝ P i.e., S = K⋅Pwhere S is the solubility of the gas in mol dm–3, P is the pressure of the gas in atm, K is constant of proportionality and has the unit of mol dm–3 atm–1. If P = 1 atm, then S = K. Hence, Henry’s constant K is defined as solubility of gas in mol dm–3 at 1 atmospheric pressure at reference temperature. If several gases are present then the solubility of any gas may be evaluated by using P as partial pressure of that gas in the mixture.Effect of temperature : f According to Charles’ law, volume of a given mass of a gas increases with increase of temperature. Therefore, volume

49Solutions and Colligative Properties

of a given mass of dissolved gas in solution also increases with increase of temperature, so that it becomes impossible for the solvent in solution to accommodate gaseous solute in it and gas bubbles out. Hence, solubility of gas in liquid decreases with increase of temperature.Effect of addition of soluble salt : f Solubility of dissolved gas is suppressed when a soluble salt is added to the solution of gas.

Illustration : The solubility of nitrogen gas at 1 atm pressure at 25°C is 6.8 × 10–4 mol dm–3. Calculate the solubility of N2 gas from atmosphere at 25°C if atmospheric pressure is 1 atmosphere and partial pressure of N2 gas at this temperature and pressure is 0.78 atm.Soln.: (i) S = 6.8 × 10–4 mol dm–3, PN2

= 1 atm S = K⋅PN2

6.8 × 10–4 mol dm–3 = K × 1 atm K = 6.8 × 10–4 mol dm–3 atm–1

(ii) P = 0.78 atm, S = ?S = 6.8 × 10–4 mol dm–3 atm–1 × 0.78 atm = 5.304 × 10–4 mol dm–3

i.e. Solubility of N2 is reduced to = 5.304 × 10–4 mol dm–3

2.5 Solid SolutionsA solid solution of two or more metals or of a metal or •metals with one or more non-metals is called an alloy or solid solution.All the properties of the pure metals are improved when •they form solid solutions, i.e., alloys.

Duralumin (Al + Cu + Mg + Mn) :Light and strong as steel. −Used in the construction of aircrafts. −

Aluminium bronze (Al + Cu + Mn)Lead alloy (Pb + 10 - 20% Sb) :

Babbitt metal (Sb + Sn + Cu) :Antifriction alloy. −Used in machine bearings. −

Stainless steel (Steel + Cr + Ni) :Resistant to corrosion. −Used in cutlery. −

Amalgams (Hg + metals) :Used for extracting metals from ores. −

2.6 Colligative PropertiesThese are the properties that depend on the number of solute particles in solution and not on the nature of the solute particles. These are :

Lowering of vapour pressure, •Elevation of boiling point of solvent in solution, •Depression of freezing point of solvent in solution and •Osmotic pressure. •

2.7 Lowering of Vapour PressureVapour pressure of liquids : •

The f vapour pressure of a substance is defined as the pressure exerted by the gaseous state of that substance when it is in equilibrium with the solid or liquid phase.Vapour pressure of a liquid, increases with the f

increase of temperature.The f boiling point of a liquid is a temperature at which vapour pressure of liquid becomes equal to external pressure. If the boiling is carried out in an open atmosphere then external pressure is the atmospheric pressure.

Vapour pressure lowering : •The vapour pressure of a liquid solvent is lowered f

when a non-volatile solute is dissolved in it to form a solution.This is due to the fact that in case of pure solvent, f

its surface area is completely occupied by volatile solvent molecules. While in case of solution of non- volatile solute, its surface area is not completely available for volatile solvent; partly it is occupied by non-volatile solute.Hence, rate of evaporation of the solution will be f

less as compared to that of pure solvent and vapour pressure of solution is lower than that of the pure solvent.If f p1° is the vapour pressure of pure solvent and p is the vapour pressure of the solution of non-volatile

solute in the same solvent, then p < p1° and the lowering of vapour pressure is, Dp = p1° – pThe difference between vapour pressure of pure f

solvent and the vapour pressure of solvent from solution is called vapour pressure lowering.The ratio of vapour pressure lowering of solvent f

from solution to the vapour pressure of pure solvent is called the relative lowering of vapour pressure.

Raoult’s lawThe law states that, the partial vapour pressure of any •volatile component of a solution is the product of vapour pressure of that pure component and the mole fraction of the component in the solution.

p1 = p°1x1 and p2 = p°2x2 where p°1 and p°2 are vapour pressures of pure components 1 and 2 respectively, at the same temperature.Total vapour pressure, • ptotal of solutions of two volatile components is the sum of partial vapour pressures of the two components,

ptotal = p1 + p2 = x1 p1° + x2 p2° = (x1)p1° + (1 – x1) p2° = p2° + (p1° – p2°)x1 The solution which obeys Raoult’s law over the entire

range of concentration is called an ideal solution. If a solution does not obey Raoult’s law, the solution is non-ideal.If • y1 and y2 are the mole fractions of the components 1 and 2 respectively in the vapour phase then,

p1 = y1 ptotal and p2 = y2 ptotal

Raoult’s law for a solution of non-volatile solute

Non-volatile solute does not evaporate and does not •contribute to the total vapour pressure of solution. The vapour pressure of pure component A1 is p1° and that of component A2 is p2° = 0.

p = p2° + (p1° – p2°)x1 (as p2° = 0) p = 0 + (p1° – 0)x1 i.e., p = p1°x1 …(1)

The lowering of vapour pressure • Dp is given by, Dp = p1° – p = p1° – p1°x1 = p1°(1 – x1) But 1 – x1 = x2 Hence, Dp = p1°x2 …(2)

Lowering of vapour pressure is the product of vapour •pressure of pure solvent and mole fraction of non-volatile solute dissolved in volatile solvent to form a

solution. Thus the lowering of vapour pressure depends on nature of pure solvent and concentration of solute in mole fraction.

2.10 Osmosis and Osmotic PressureOsmosis : • The net spontaneous flow of the solvent molecules from the solvent to the solution or from a less concentrated solution to a more concentrated solution through a semipermeable membrane.Osmotic pressure : • The minimum excess pressure that has to be applied on the solution to prevent the entry of the solvent into the solution through the semipermeable membrane.

Two or more solutions having same osmotic f

pressure at a given temperature are called isotonic solutions.If one solution is of lower osmotic pressure, f

it is called hypotonic with respect to the more concentrated solution. The more concentrated solution is said to be hypertonic with respect to the dilute solution.If a pressure higher than the osmotic pressure f

is applied on the solution, the solvent will flow from the solution into the pure solvent through the semipermeable membrane and the process is called reverse osmosis. It is used in desalination of sea water.

Laws of osmotic pressurevan’t Hoff–Boyle’s law : • It states that, at constant temperature the osmotic pressure (p) of a dilute solution is directly proportional to its molar concentration or inversely proportional to the volume of the solution.

At constant T, p ∝ C (in mol L–1)

Elevation of boiling point : • Solution has lower vapour pressure and hence f

higher boiling point than pure solvent. The increase in the boiling point, DTb = Tb – Tb° is known as elevation of boiling point.For dilute solutions, f DTb ∝ m

2.9 Freezing Point Depression

Freezing point • of a liquid is the temperature at which the vapour pressure of solid is equal to the vapour pressure of liquid.Depression of freezing point : • The lowering of vapour pressure of a solution causes a lowering of the freezing point compared to that of the pure solvent. The decrease in freezing point, DTf = Tf° – Tf is known as depression in freezing point.Freezing point depression and vapour pressure •lowering : For dilute solutions,

DTf ∝ p1° – p DTf ∝ m or DTf = Kf m where Kf is known as freezing point depression constant

or molal depression constant or cryoscopic constant, having unit K kg mol–1.

van’t Hoff–Avogadro’s law : • It states that, two solutions of equal concentrations of different solutes exert same osmotic pressure at the same temperature. It can also be, stated as, equal volumes of isotonic solutions contain an equal number of solute particles at the given temperature.

For a given solution pV = nRT p1V1 = n1RT1 for solution 1 …(i) p2V2 = n2RT2 for solution 2 …(ii) If p1 = p2, T1 = T2 and V1 = V2 then from equations (i)

and (ii), n1 = n2 Since, number of moles are equal, number of molecules

are also equal. Hence, osmotic pressure and temperature remaining

the same, equal volumes of solutions would contain equal number of moles of the solute.

For isotonic solutions of equal volume, n1 = n2

2.11 Abnormal Molecular Masses

For substances undergoing association or dissociation •in solution, the molecular mass determined by studying any of the colligative properties is different than the theoretically expected value, and the substance is said to show abnormal molecular mass.Dissociation of electrolyte solutes : • Electrolytic solutes when dissolved in solvent dissociate to produce

multiple number of ions/particles. This results in increase of number of solute particles in solution which in turn results in increase of colligative properties and increase of DTf /m value and the value of DTf /m is approximately equal to integral multiple of Kf value. The value of integral is equal to total number of ions produced on dissociation as shown :

(i) HCl → H+ + Cl–; 2 particles; DTf /m = 2 × 1.86 K mol–1 kg (ii) NH4Cl → NH4

+ + Cl–; 2 particles; DTf /m = 2 × 1.86 K mol–1 kg (iii) CoCl2 → Co2+ + 2Cl–; 3 particles; DTf /m = 3 × 1.86 K mol–1 kg (iv) K2SO4 → 2K+ + SO4

2–; 3 particles; DTf /m = 3 × 1.86 K mol–1 kg (v) AlCl3 → Al3+ + 3Cl–; 4 particles; DTf /m = 4 × 1.86 K mol–1 kg DTf /m = Kf value observed in case of solutions of

electrolytes may not be exactly two fold, three fold etc of theoretical Kf value observed in case of solutions of non-electrolyte solute. The value fluctuates with degree of dissociation of solute in solution.Association of solutes : • In some non-polar solvents, two or more molecules of solute associate to form bigger molecules. For example, in benzene solutes like acetic acid, benzoic acid, etc. associate to form dimers. This association is due to the hydrogen bonding between these molecules.

2CH3COOH = (CH3COOH)2

2C6H5COOH = (C6H5COOH)2

Hence, numbers of solute particles are reduced to almost half. Observed molecular masses of these species are almost twice the expected values in dilute solutions. Due to association the total number of molecules in solution will be almost half of the number of molecules of the substance dissolved. Hence such solutions show abnormally low colligative properties. The observed molecular masses are almost double.

2.12 van’t Hoff Factor

The colligative properties of electrolytes may be •expressed in relation to colligative properties of non-electrolytes by using van’t Hoff factor i. It is defined as the ratio of observed colligative property produced by a given concentration of electrolyte solution to the property observed for the same concentration of non-electrolyte solution.
