MOLE RATIO
The coefficients in a balanced equation given the moles of
each substance in that equation. For the combination
reaction of hydrogen gas and nitrogen gas to produce
ammonia, the coefficients give us valuable information
about the reaction:
This is the concept map utilizing the stoichiometric ratios
Vapor-pressure lowering
Boiling-point elevation
Freezing-point depression
Osmotic pressure
A. Vapor-Pressure Lowering
Vapor pressure: is the pressure
exerted by a vapor that is in
dynamic equilibrium with its
liquid (molecules are moving
back and forth between liquid
and vapor phases)
A solution that contains a solute This is true because in a
that is not easily vaporized always solution, solute particles
has a lower vapor pressure than reduce the number of free
the pure solvent. solvent particles able to
escape the liquid.
A. Vapor-Pressure Lowering
Since the vapsor pressure is lower in the solution, it takes a longer time
to equalize the vapor pressure of the liquid and the atmospheric pressure.
Thus it takes a higher temperature to attain the boiling point of a solution.
The boiling point of a solution, therefore is greater than the boiling point
of a pure solvent.
B. Boiling-Point Elevation
(A) represents the molecules in
the liquid and the vapor state. (B)
represents the molecules of
solutions made up of solute and
solvent. The higher the number of
molecules in the vapor state, the
higher the vapor pressure and the
lower the boiling point. The
boiling point of a pure solvent is
lower than the boiling point of a
solution.
A B
B. Boiling-Point Elevation
And the boiling point of the solution is equal to the boiling point of pure solvent
plus the amount by which boiling point was elevated.
Boiling point of solution = Boiling Point of solvent + ΔTb
Molal boiling point Constants
B. Boiling-Point Elevation
ΔTb = Kb x m
ΔTb = 0.512 oC x 0.068 m
1m
ΔTb = 0.035 oC
Sample Problem
Step 3: Solve for the boiling point of the solution.
The identity of the solute does not have any effect on the
freezing point just like in the vapor pressure and boiling
point .
C. Freezing-Point Depression
The freezing point depression:
ΔTf = Kf x m
Where:
ΔTf = Freezing Point Depression
Kf = Molal Freezing Point depression Constant
m = Molality
Sample Problem
ΔTf = Kf x m
ΔTf= 5.12 oC x 0.509 m
1m
ΔTb = 2.61 oC
C. Freezing-Point Depression
C. Freezing-Point Depression
The magnitude of the freezing-
point depression is proportional
to the number of solute particles
dissolved in the solvent and does
not depend upon their identity.
Where;
M = is the number of moles of solute per unit volume of solution (i.e., the molarity of
the solution),
R = is the ideal gas constant (0.0821 L*atm/K*mol) and
T = is the absolute temperature (K-Kelvin)
Sample Problem
If the normal osmotic pressure inside a yeast cell is 7.3 atm,
corresponding to a total concentration of dissolved particles of 0.30
M, what concentration of glycerol must the cells synthesize to exactly
balance the external osmotic pressure at 25°C?
a)Calculate the molarity of the NaCl solution using the formula mass of
the solute and the density of the solution. Then calculate the total
concentration of dissolved particles.
b)Use Equation to calculate the osmotic pressure of the solution.
c)Subtract the normal osmotic pressure of the cells from the osmotic
pressure of the salt solution to obtain the additional pressure needed to
balance the two. Use Equation to calculate the molarity of glycerol
needed to create this osmotic pressure.
