What Is It
In this lesson, we are going to discuss about colligative property and how to determine
molar mass of a solution using these colligative properties. Colligative property refers to the
property of the solution that depends on the number of solute particles present. Colligative
properties of solutions include freezing point depression and boiling point elevation. There are
more colligative properties like osmotic pressure and vapor pressure lowering. In this lesson,
we’ll focus only on the first two properties mentioned above.
Previously, you have learned that a liquid boils when its vapor pressure is equal to its
atmospheric pressure (1.01 x 105 Pa). The normal boiling point of a liquid is the temperature
at which its vapor pressure is 1.01 x 105 Pa. If the vapor pressure decreases in a nonelectrolyte
solution, the boiling point of the solution tends to increase. Therefore, to reach the 1.01 x 10 5
Pa vapor pressure, the solution must be boiled at a temperature higher than the normal boiling
point temperature of the pure solvent. The increase in the boiling point temperature is called
boiling point elevation (∆Tb). To determine the boiling point elevation of a solution, we will have
to use equation 3.1.1,
∆Tb = Kbm equation 3.1.1
where Kb is the molal boiling point elevation constant and m is the molality of the solute
in the solution. Molality is used in this equation since it relates to mole fraction and, thus,
particles of solute and temperature do not affect it. On the other hand, the boiling point of a
solution can be determined using equation 3.1.2,
where Tb(solution) is the boiling point of solution, Tb(solvent) is the boiling point of pure
solvent and ∆Tb is the boiling point elevation.
Let’s do an example!
Example 3.1A: Sucrose (C22O11H22, 342 g/mol), like many sugars, is highly soluble in water;
almost 1500 g will dissolve in 1000 g of water, giving rise to what amounts to pancake syrup.
Using Kb of 0.514 K/mol*Kg, estimate the boiling point elevation of such a sugar solution.
We can solve this problem in a straightforward manner. Since all the data needed is
already given, we can just directly substitute the given values in equation 3.1.1. But take note,
in equation 3.1.1, the boiling point elevation can be solved if we have the values of molality
and the molal boiling point elevation constant and since molality is not given, then we have to
calculate for it first.
2
Now that we already listed all the given data, the unknown and the equation that we
will use, let’s proceed to the solution part.
Solution: Since, we are given the molar mass and mass of the sucrose, let’s get the number
of moles of sucrose.
𝑀𝑎𝑠𝑠
Number of moles = equation 3.1.4
𝑀𝑜𝑙𝑎𝑟 𝑚𝑎𝑠𝑠
1500 𝑔
Number of moles of sucrose =
342 𝑔/𝑚𝑜𝑙
Number of moles of sucrose = 4.39 mol
That’s it! Now that we have the number of moles of sucrose, we can then solve for the molality
of the solution using equation 3.1.3.
𝑚𝑜𝑙𝑒𝑠 𝑜𝑓 𝑠𝑜𝑙𝑢𝑡𝑒
molality (m) =
𝑚𝑎𝑠𝑠 𝑜𝑓 𝑠𝑜𝑙𝑣𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝑖𝑛 𝐾𝑔
4.39 𝑚𝑜𝑙
molality (m) =
1 𝑘𝑔
molality (m) = 4.39 mol sucrose/kg water
Finally, we have the values of molality and the Kb . We can now go to the last part of the
calculation, which is to calculate for the boiling point elevation.
∆Tb = Kbm
∆Tb = (0.514 K/mol*Kg)(4.39 mol sucrose/kg water)
∆Tb = 2.25 K
Recall that only solvent vaporizes from solution, so solute molecules are left behind.
Similarly, only solvent freezes, again leaving solute molecules behind. The freezing point of a
solution is the temperature at which its vapor pressure equals that of the pure solvent, that is,
when solid solvent and liquid solution are in equilibrium. The freezing point depression (∆Tf)
occurs because the vapor pressure of the solution is always lower than that of the solvent, so
the solution freezes at a lower temperature; that is, only at a lower temperature will solvent
particles leave and enter the solid at the same rate. The freezing-point depression (∆Tf) is
defined as the freezing point of the pure solvent (Tf°) minus the freezing point of the solution
(Tf):
∆Tf =Tf° + Tf equation 3.1.5
Because Tf° >Tf, ∆Tfis a positive quantity. Again, ∆Tfis proportional to the concentration
of the solution:
∆Tfα m
∆Tf = Kfm equation 3.1.6
where ∆Tf is the freezing point elevation, m is the concentration of the solute in
molality units, and Kf is the molal freezing-point depression constant. The Kf of water is 1.86
°C*Kg/mol.
Example 3.1B: Calculate the mass of ethylene glycol (formula mass = 62.1 g/mol), an
antifreeze component, that must be added to 5.0 L of water to produce a solution that freezes
at -18.3°C. Assume that the density of the water is exactly 1 g/mL.
3
Given: Kf = 1.86 °C*Kg/mol Tf = -18.3 °C
Molar massethylene glycol = 62.1 g/mol Densitywater = 1 g/mL Volumewater = 5.0 L
Solution: The approach in answering this kind of problem is the same with the previous
problem. It just differs slightly since this time, it’s the mass that is being asked.
∆Tf =Tf° + Tf
∆Tf = 0 °C – (-18.3 °C)
∆Tf = 18.3 °C
Now, we have the value for the boiling point elevation. However, our task is not yet
done since it’s the mass that we’re looking for and not the boiling point elevation. Previously,
we learned that ∆Tf can also be solved using molality and Kf, as shown is equation 3.1.6. To
solve for the molality, we can use this equation and transpose it.
∆Tf = Kfm
∆Tf
m=
Kf
18.3 °C
m=
1.86 °C∗Kg/mol
m = 9.84 mol/Kg
With this, we can now solve for the mass of the ethylene glycol by substitution.
1 𝐾𝑔
Number of moles of ethylene glycol = molality (Volume of water)(density of water)( )
1000 𝑔
𝑔 1 𝐾𝑔
Number of moles of ethylene glycol = 9.84 mol/Kg (5000 mL)(1 )( )
𝑚𝐿 1000 𝑔
Number of moles of ethylene glycol = 49.2 mol
We get the mass of a substance by simply multiplying the number of moles of the
substance and its molar mass.

where the i value for an electrolyte with an AB empirical formula is 2, whereas for AB2,
i is 3.Thus, i should be 1 for all nonelectrolytes. For strong electrolytes such as NaCl and
KNO3, i should be 2, and for strong electrolytes such as Na2SO4 and CaCl2, i should be 3.
Table 2.1 shows the experimentally measured values of i and those calculated assuming
complete dissociation. As you can see, the agreement is close but not perfect, indicating that
the extent of ion-pair formation in these solutions at that concentration is appreciable.
Table3.1.1. The van’t Hoff Factor of 0.0500 M Electrolyte Solutions at 25 degrees Celsius
Example 3.1C: Determine the freezing and boiling point of a solution prepared by dissolving
85.40 g of calcium chloride (CaCl2) in 200 g of water (H2O).
Just follow the process we did in the previous examples. Start with listing all the known
and unknown data before going to the solution part.
Take note that CaCl2 dissociates into 3 ions, 2 ions for Chlorine and 1 ion for Calcium
as given in the reaction below.
CaCl2(aq)→Ca2+(aq) +2Cl−(aq)
Unknown: Tf and Tb
First thing we have to do is to calculate for the moles of CaCl2. We can do this by dividing the
mass of the CaCl2 to its molar mass.
𝑚𝑎𝑠𝑠
Number of moles =
𝑚𝑜𝑙𝑎𝑟 𝑚𝑎𝑠𝑠
85.40 𝑔
Number of moles =
110.98 𝑔/𝑚𝑜𝑙
Number of moles = 0.770 mol CaCl2
Now, we can solve for the molality of the solution using equation 2.1.3.
𝑚𝑜𝑙𝑒𝑠 𝑜𝑓 𝑠𝑜𝑙𝑢𝑡𝑒
molality (m) =
𝑚𝑎𝑠𝑠 𝑜𝑓 𝑠𝑜𝑙𝑣𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝑖𝑛 𝐾𝑔
0.770 𝑚𝑜𝑙
molality (m) =
0.200 𝑘𝑔
molality (m) = 3.85 mol/Kg
Using equations 2.1.8 and 2.1.9, we can consecutively solve for ∆Tb and ∆Tf.
∆Tb = iKbm
∆Tb = 3 (0.512 °C ∗ Kg/mol)(3.85 mol/Kg)
∆Tb = 5.91 °C
5
∆Tf = iKfm
∆Tf = 3 (-1.86 °C ∗ Kg/mol)(3.85 mol/Kg)
∆Tf = -21.48 °C
Since the normal boiling point of water is 100 °C, using equation 3.1.2 for boiling point
and 3.1.5 for freezing point, we must add the calculated ∆Tb to 100 °C to get the new boiling
point of the solution. Therefore, the new boiling point is 105.91°C. On the other hand, since
the normal freezing point of water is 0 °C, the new freezing point is still -21.48°C.
Example 3.1D: The addition of 250 mg of naphthalene in benzene elevated the boiling point
of 100 g of benzene by 0.05°C at 1.01 x 105 Pa. Calculate the molar mass of naphthalene
molecules. Benzene has a boiling point of 80.1°C and the Kb for benzene is 2.53 °C*Kg/mol.
Given this problem, first thing you have to do is to breathe. Relax. We can solve this
problem together! Now, you have to list down all the data given and the unknown. You may
follow the format below to make your calculations neat and easier to track.
Given:
MassNaphthalene = 250 mg = 0.250 g MassBenzene = 100 g ∆ Tb = 0.05°C
Pressure = 1.01 x 105 Pa Tb = 80.1°C Kb = 2.53 °C*Kg/mol
All givens in? Already know what we have to calculate? Good! Let’s proceed to the
solution part.
Solution: With all the given data, we have to think of an equation where we can use those data
given to us. Do you think we can use equation 3.1.1 to solve for the molality of the naphthalene
molecules? Absolutely! But we can’t use the equation on its original form since we’re not
looking for the ∆Tb, we’re looking for the molality. So, using the knowledge you acquire from
the subject algebra, we have to transpose the equation and get the value for molality.
∆Tb = Kbm
∆Tb Kb ∗ 𝑚
=
Kb Kb
∆Tb
m=
Kb
0.05°C
m=
2.53 °C∗Kg/mol
m = 0.020 mol/Kg
We already calculated the molality of the solution. But, we are not done yet since our
final goal is to determine the molar mass of the naphthalene molecules. We know that the
solution was prepared using 0.100 kg of benzene. Now, we can find the number of moles of
naphthalene in the solution.
𝑛𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟 𝑜𝑓 𝑚𝑜𝑙𝑒𝑠
Molality (m) =
𝑚𝑎𝑠𝑠 𝑜𝑓 𝑠𝑜𝑙𝑣𝑒𝑛𝑡 (𝐾𝑔)
6
Number of moles of naphthalene = molality (mass of solvent)
Number of moles of naphthalene = (0.020 mol/kg)(0.100 kg)
Number of moles of naphthalene = 1.98 x 10-3 mol
Previously, we learned that to get the molar mass, we can use equation 3.1.4.
𝑚𝑎𝑠𝑠
Molar mass =
𝑛𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟 𝑜𝑓 𝑚𝑜𝑙𝑒𝑠
0.250 𝑔
Molar mass =
0.00198 𝑚𝑜𝑙
Molar mass = 128 g/mol
The molecular formula of naphthalene is C10H8 and its molar mass is 128 g/mol.

What Is It
In performing chemical experiments across the world, the most important procedure is
preparing a solution. With this, the concentration of the solution must be determined first.
Recall that a solution is made up of a substance dissolved in liquid. The substance that
is being dissolved is called solute while the substance that is dissolving the solute is known
as solvent. We can then call the result of this mixture as solution. Most of the time, solution is
defined by their solute concentration, which refers to the measure of how much solute is
present per unit of solution.
Making solution is easy and requires basic skill only; however, poor technique in doing
this may result to a failed experiment. That is why, it is a must that we should know how to
properly prepare a solution in a laboratory experiment.
Are you familiar with the concept “Safety First”? Well, that also applies in performing a
laboratory experiment. The first consideration when making a solution is the safety of those
9
who will perform the experiment. That is why beforehand, your personal protective equipment
(PPE) should be complete and appropriate. Examples of this PPE are safety goggles, face
mask, gloves and laboratory coat.
When you’re already equipped with your PPE, the next thing to do is to determine the
moles of the solute you will need in order to achieve the desired concentration of your solution.
Then convert this value to grams using the molar mass of the chemical. The chemicals can
be weighed out using a digital and analytical balance.
After measuring the volume of the solvent to be used, you can then transfer it to a
beaker which contains a stir bar. The weighed solute can then be added to the purified water.
Heating and stirring the solution is also recommended upon mixing to make the process of
dissolving faster.
Now, these are the most common scenarios in performing a laboratory experiment.
But you might wonder how did we come up with the right values of the volume needed?
Usually, a given volume and molarity are required before starting the experiment. Let’s do the
calculations!
1. Determine the mass in grams of one mole of solute, the molar mass (MM).
2. Decide volume of solution required, in liters, V.
3. Decide molarity of solution required, M.
4. Calculate mass (M) in grams of solute (g) required using equation 3.2.1,
Therefore, you must dissolve 93.52 g of NaCl in about 400 mL of distilled water, then
add more water until final volume is 800 mL.

What Is It
The first law of thermodynamics which is based on the law of conservation of energy
states that energy can be converted from one form to another but cannot be created or
destroyed. It states that the change in internal energy of a system, ∆U, equals the net heat
transferred into the system, Q, plus the net work done on the system, W.
12
This is shown in equation 3.3.1.
∆U = W + Q equation 3.3.1
Here, ΔU is the change in internal energy of the system. Q is the net heat transferred
into the system—that is, Q is the sum of all heat transferred into and out of the system. W is
the net work done on the system.
So positive heat, Q, adds energy to the system and positive work, W, adds energy to
the system. Therefore, the first law takes the form it does in equation 3.3.1. It simply says that
you can add to the internal energy by heating a system or doing work on the system.
We can think of the first law of thermodynamics as an energy balance sheet, much like
a money balance sheet kept in a bank that does currency exchange. You can withdraw or
deposit money in either of two different currencies (like energy change due to heat exchange
and work done). However, the value of your bank account depends only on the net amount of
money left in it after these transactions, not on which currency you used.
Work
Where, ∆V, the change in volume, is given by Vf– Vi and P is the external atmospheric
pressure.
Example 3.3.1. A certain gas expands in volume from 2.0L to 6.0L at constant temperature.
Calculate the work done by the gas if it expands (a) against a vacuum and (b) against a
constant pressure of 1.2 atm. The work done in gas expansion is equal to the product of the
external, opposing pressure and the change in volume. What is the conversion factor between
L*atm and J?
(a) Because the external pressure is zero, no work is done in the expansion.
W = - P(∆V)
W = - 0 ( 6 L – 2L)
W = 0 atm*L
The other component of internal energy is heat, Q. For example, it takes 4184 J of
energy to raise the temperature of 100g of water from 20°C to 30°C. This energy can be gained
(a) directly as heat energy from a Bunsen burner, without doing any work on the water; (b) by
doing work on the water without adding heat energy (for example, by stirring the water with a
magnetic stir bar); or (c) by some combination of the procedures described in (a) and (b). This
simple illustration shows that heat associated with a given process, like work, depends on how
the process is carried out. It is important to note that regardless of which procedure is taken,
the change in internal energy of the system, ∆U, depends on the sum of (Q + W). If changing
the path from the initial state to the final state increases the value of Q, then it will decrease
the value of W by the same amount and vice versa, so that ∆U remains unchanged.

What Is It
Our next step is to see how the first law of thermodynamics can be applied to
processes carried out under different conditions. Specifically, we will consider two situations
most commonly encountered in the laboratory; one in which the volume of the system is kept
constant and one in which the pressure applied on the system is kept constant.
Where, H is the enthalpy of a reaction, U is the internal energy of the system, P is the
pressure and V is the volume of the system. Because U and PV have energy units, enthalpy
also has energy units. Common units used to express enthalpy are the joule, calorie, or BTU
(British Thermal Unit.)
Change in enthalpy is calculated rather than enthalpy in part because total enthalpy of
a system cannot be measured since it is impossible to know the zero point. However, it is
possible to measure the difference in enthalpy between one state and another. Enthalpy
change may be calculated under conditions of constant pressure. One representation of this
is of a firefighter who is on a ladder, but the smoke has covered his view of the ground. He
cannot see how many steps are below him to the ground but can see there are three steps to
the window where a person needs to be rescued. In the same way, total enthalpy cannot be
measured, but the change in enthalpy (three ladder steps) can. This change in enthalpy is
defined as ∆H.
Because most reactions are constant-pressure processes, we can equate the heat
change in these cases, to the change in enthalpy. For any reaction of the type
reactants products
we define the change in enthalpy, called the enthalpy of reaction, ∆Hrxn, as the difference
between the enthalpies of the products and the enthalpies of the reactants:
Remember that the enthalpy of reaction can be positive or negative, depending on the
process. For an endothermic process (heat absorbed by the system from the surroundings),
∆H is positive (that is, ∆H >0). For an exothermic process (heat released by the system to the
surroundings), ∆H is negative (that is, ∆H < 0).
Another way of calculating the change of enthalpy is by using Hess Law. Hess Law
states that the enthalpy change accompanying a chemical change is independent of the route
by which the chemical change occurs. In other words, Hess Law is saying that if you convert
reactants A into products B, the overall enthalpy change will be the same whether you do it in
one step or two steps or however many steps.
when:
C(s) + O2(g) → CO2(g); ΔHf = -393.5 kJ/mol
S(s) + O2(g) → SO2(g); ΔHf = -296.8 kJ/mol
C(s) + 2 S(s) → CS2(l); ΔHf = 87.9 kJ/mol
This is an example of a trial-and-error problem. To solve this, it is better to start with a reaction
with only one mole of reactant or product in the reaction.
Our reaction needs one CO2 in the product and the first reaction also has one
CO2 product.
This reaction gives us the CO2 needed on the product side and one of the O2 needed on the
reactant side. The other two O2 can be found in the second reaction.
Since only one O2 is in the reaction, multiply the reaction by two to get the second O2. This
doubles the ΔHf value.
This equation has the product side needed in the problem but contains an extra two S and
one C atom on the reactant side. Fortunately, the third equation has the same atoms. If the
reaction is reversed, these atoms are on the product side. When the reaction is reversed, the
sign of the change in enthalpy is reversed.
Add these two reactions together and the extra S and C atoms cancel out. The remaining
reaction is the reaction needed in the question. Since the reactions were added together, their
ΔHf values are added together.

Summary
Colligative Properties
• Colligative property refers to the property of the solution that depends on the number
of solute particles present.
• Colligative properties of solutions include freezing point depression and boiling point
elevation.
• The increase in the boiling point temperature is called boiling point elevation (∆Tb). To
determine the boiling point elevation of a solution, we will have to use equation,
∆Tb = Kbm. Where the value of the Kb is 0.514 K/mol*Kg
On the other hand, the boiling point of a solution can be determined using equation,
Tb(solution)= Tb(solvent)+ ∆Tb
• The freezing point depression (∆Tf) occurs because the vapor pressure of the
solution is always lower than that of the solvent, so the solution freezes at a lower
temperature; that is, only at a lower temperature will solvent particles leave and enter
the solid at the same rate.
• The equation of freezing point depression is ∆Tf = Kfm , where Kf is 1.86 °C*Kg/mol.
• Hess law states that the enthalpy change accompanying a chemical change is
independent of the route by which the chemical change occurs.
