1. Chemistry
-science that deals with the properties and composition of various forms of matter

Matter
-anything that has mass and occupies space
Mass
-amount of matter in an object
Volume
-amount of space occupied by matter

22. Measure of Concentration 7/ 7
Normality can also be expressed as:
Normality(N) = Molarity (M) x Equivalents (eq)

23. General Solubility Rule

24. Colligative Properties of Solution

-properties of solutions that depends on the ratio of the no. of solutes to the no. of solvent molecules
present in a solution
-they do not depend on the nature of the chemical species present

25. Osmotic Pressure-pressure needed to prevent osmosis, which is the spontaneous net movement of solvent
molecules through a semi-permeable membrane in to a region of higher solute concentrations.
26. Vapor Pressure Lowering-the addition of nonvolatile solute to a volatile solvent will diminish the
escaping tendency of the solvent thereby lowering vapor pressure of the solution.

27. Boiling Point Elevation

Boiling point-the temperature at which the vapor pressure of the liquid becomes equal to the external

atmospheric pressure (1 atm=760 mmHg)

28. Freezing Point Depression

Freezing Point-the temperature at which the solid and liquid phases are in equilibrium under an external
pressure of 1 atm.

41. Ideal Gas Concept

An ideal gas is where all interactions between the molecules are only through collsions that are assumed
to be elastic.

42. Gas Laws

43. Boyle’s Law-States that the pressure of a given mass of an ideal gas is inversely proportional to its
volume at a constant temperature.
44. Charle’s Law- states that the volume of an ideal gas at constant pressure is directly proportional to the
absolute temperature.

45. Gay-Lussac’s Law-states that, for a given mass and constant volume of an ideal gas, the pressure exerted
on the sides of its container is directly proportional to its absolute temperature.

46. Avogadro’s Law-states that equal volumes of gases at the same temperature and pressure contain equal
numbers of molecules.

47. Combined Gas Law

48. Law of Partial Pressure
