Class: 12 Chemistry Chapter: Solutions (рд╡рд┐рд▓рдпрди)


### 1. Introduction & Types of Solutions

A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more chemically non-reacting substances.

  • Solute (рд╡рд┐рд▓реЗрдп): The component present in a smaller amount.
  • Solvent (рд╡рд┐рд▓рд╛рдпрдХ): The component present in a larger amount.

Types of Solutions based on physical states:

  • Gas in Liquid: Soda water, Oxygen dissolved in water.
  • Liquid in Liquid: Ethanol in water.
  • Solid in Liquid: Salt or Glucose in water.
  • Solid in Solid: Alloys (Brass, Bronze).

### 2. Concentration Terms (╤Б╨░рдВрджреНрд░рддрд╛ рдкрдж)

  • Mass Percentage (w/w %): Mass % of component = (Mass of component in solution / Total mass of solution) x 100

  • Volume Percentage (v/v %): Volume % = (Volume of component / Total volume of solution) x 100

  • Parts per Million (ppm): ppm = (Number of parts of the component / Total number of parts of all components) x 10^6

  • Molarity (M) - рдореЛрд▓рд░рддрд╛: Number of moles of solute dissolved per litre of solution. M = (Moles of solute / Volume of solution in litres) M = (W_B x 1000) / (M_B x V_mL) (Where W_B = mass of solute, M_B = molar mass of solute, V = volume in mL) Note: Molarity depends on temperature because volume changes with temperature.

  • Molality (m) - рдореЛрд▓рд▓рддрд╛: Number of moles of solute dissolved per kilogram of solvent. m = (Moles of solute / Mass of solvent in kg) m = (W_B x 1000) / (M_B x W_A_g) (Where W_A = mass of solvent in grams) Note: Molality is independent of temperature.

  • Mole Fraction (X) - рдореЛрд▓ рдЕрдВрд╢: Ratio of number of moles of one component to the total number of moles of all components. For a binary solution containing components A and B: X_A = n_A / (n_A + n_B) X_B = n_B / (n_A + n_B) X_A + X_B = 1


### 3. Solubility of Gases in Liquids (Henry's Law)

  • Henry's Law: At a constant temperature, the solubility of a gas in a liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of the gas present above the surface of liquid or solution. P = K_H x X (Where P = Partial pressure of gas, X = Mole fraction of gas in solution, K_H = Henry's law constant)

  • Key Points about K_H:

    • K_H is a function of the nature of the gas.
    • As temperature increases, K_H increases, and solubility of gases decreases (that's why aquatic species are more comfortable in cold water than warm water).

### 4. Vapour Pressure of Liquid Solutions (Raoult's Law)

  • Raoult's Law for volatile liquids: For a solution of volatile liquids, the partial vapour pressure of each component in the solution is directly proportional to its mole fraction. p_A = p_A^0 x X_A and p_B = p_B^0 x X_B Total pressure P_total = p_A + p_B = (p_A^0 x X_A) + (p_B^0 x X_B)

  • Raoult's Law as a special case of Henry's Law: When vapour pressure p = K_H x X, here K_H becomes equal to p^0 (vapour pressure of pure component).

  • Raoult's Law for Non-volatile Solutes: ((p_A^0 - p_A) / p_A^0) = X_B = (n_B) / (n_A + n_B) (Where (p_A^0 - p_A) / p_A^0 is the relative lowering of vapour pressure)


### 5. Ideal and Non-Ideal Solutions

Intermolecular forces$A-A$, $B-B$ interactions $\approx A-B$ interactions$A-B$ interactions $\neq A-A$ or $B-B$ interactions

Non-Ideal Solutions are of two types:

  1. Positive Deviation: $P_{total} > (p_A^0 X_A + p_B^0 X_B)$, $\Delta H > 0$, $\Delta V > 0$ (e.g., Ethanol + Acetone)
  2. Negative Deviation: $P_{total} < (p_A^0 X_A + p_B^0 X_B)$, $\Delta H < 0$, $\Delta V < 0$ (e.g., Phenol + Aniline, $CHCl_3 + acetone$)

### 6. Colligative Properties (рдЕрдгреБрд╕рдВрдЦреНрдпрдХ рдЧреБрдгрдзрд░реНрдо)

Properties of solutions that depend upon the number of solute particles in solution irrespective of their nature are called colligative properties.

  1. Relative Lowering of Vapour Pressure: ((p_1^0 - p_1) / p_1^0) = (W_B x M_A) / (M_B x W_A)

  2. Elevation of Boiling Point ($\Delta T_b$ - рдХреНрд╡рдердирд╛рдВрдХ рдореЗрдВ рдЙрдиреНрдирдпрди): \Delta T_b = T_b - T_b^0 = K_b x m \Delta T_b = (K_b x W_B x 1000) / (M_B x W_A) (Where $K_b$ = Boiling point elevation constant / Ebullioscopic constant)

  3. Depression of Freezing Point ($\Delta T_f$ - рд╣рд┐рдорд╛рдВрдХ рдореЗрдВ рдЕрд╡рдирдорди): \Delta T_f = T_f^0 - T_f = K_f x m \Delta T_f = (K_f x W_B x 1000) / (M_B x W_A) (Where $K_f$ = Freezing point depression constant / Cryoscopic constant)

  4. Osmotic Pressure ($\pi$ - рдкрд░рд╛рд╕рд░рдг рджрд╛рдм): \pi = c R T \pi = (n_B / V) R T or \pi V = (W_B / M_B) R T (Where c = Molarity, R = Gas constant, T = Temperature in Kelvin)

    • Isotonic Solutions: Solutions having the same osmotic pressure ($\pi_1 = \pi_2$).

### 7. Abnormal Molar Mass & Van't Hoff Factor ($i$)

When solute undergoes association or dissociation in solution, the observed molar mass is different from the normal molar mass. To correct this, Van't Hoff factor ($i$) is introduced.

  • Formula for $i$: i = (Normal Molar Mass) / (Abnormal Molar Mass) i = (Observed number of moles after dissociation/association) / (Initial number of moles before dissociation/association)

  • Modified Colligative Property Formulas:

    • Relative lowering of vapour pressure: ((p_1^0 - p_1) / p_1^0) = i x X_B
    • Elevation of Boiling Point: \Delta T_b = i x K_b x m
    • Depression of Freezing Point: \Delta T_f = i x K_f x m
    • Osmotic Pressure: \pi = i x c R T
  • Relation with Degree of Dissociation ($\alpha$) and Association ($\beta$):

    • For Dissociation ($n$ ions formed): i = 1 + (n - 1)\alpha
    • For Association ($n$ molecules associate to form 1): i = 1 + ((1/n) - 1)\beta
