Key Concepts
• Colligative Properties are properties of solutions that depend only on the number of
solute particles and not on the identity of the solute. The colligative properties of
solutions are boiling point elevation, freezing point depression, vapor pressure
lowering and osmotic pressure.
• Electrolytes are particles that ionize in a solution. Ionic compounds (e.g., NaCl),
strong acids (e.g., HCl) and strong bases (e.g., NaOH) are strong electrolytes. Strong
electrolytes conduct electricity because the solute dissociates completely into ions as it
dissolves.
• Nonelectrolytes are particles that do not ionize in solution. As a result, they do not
conduct electricity. Polar covalent compounds like table sugar dissolved as a molecule
and not as ions, thus, they are considered as nonelectrolytes.
• Boiling point is the temperature at which the vapor pressure of the liquid equals the
atmospheric pressure.
• Boiling point is also affected by the presence of solute. Addition of nonvolatile solute,
• Boiling Point Elevation (∆Tb) is the difference in temperature between the boiling
point of the solution and the boiling point of the pure solvent. The boiling point of a
solution is always greater than the boiling point of the pure solvent. In mathematical
terms,
∆Tb=Kbm
• The boiling point of the solution can be computed by adding the computed ∆Tb to the
boiling point of pure solvent.
Tb, solution = Tb, solvent + ∆Tb
Tb, solution = Tb, solvent + Kbm
Sample Problem:
When sugar is added to water it will boil at a higher temperature than pure
water. What is the boiling point of the solution if 500 g of sucrose (C12H22O11) is added
to 1000g of water. For water, Kb is 0.52 C˚/m.
Solution:
Given:
mass of solute 500 g C12H22O11
mass of solvent 1000 g H2O
Kb 0.52 C˚/m
Steps in solving the problem:
The boiling point of the solution would be 0.76 C˚ higher than the boiling point
of pure water. Thus, the boiling point of the solution would be 100.76 C˚
• Freezing point of a substance is the temperature at which vapor pressure of the solid
and liquid phase are the same.
• Freezing Point Depression (∆Tf) is the difference in temperature between the freezing
point of a solution and the freezing point of the pure solvent. The freezing point of a
solution is always lower than the freezing point of the pure solvent.
• The figure above shows that a solution has a lower freezing point as compared to a
pure solvent. Addition of a solute lowers the vapor pressure of the pure solvent. In
mathematical terms, it is expressed as
• Since the freezing point of the solution is lower than that of a pure solvent, the
equation can be written as:
Tf, solution = Tf, solvent - ∆Tf
Tf, solution = Tf, solvent – Kfm
Sample Problem:
While antifreeze protects a car from freezing (as its name implies), it also
protects it from overheating. Calculate the freezing point of a solution of 200 g ethylene
glycol (C2H6O2) antifreeze in 750 g of water. Kf for water is 1.86 C˚/m.
Solution:
Given:
mass of solute 200 g C2H6O2
mass of solvent 750 g H2O
Kf 1.86 C˚/m
1. Convert the mass of solute to the number of moles
1 mol C2 H6 O2
200 g C2H6O2 x = 3.23 mol C2H6O2
62.0 g C2 H6 O2
Addition of antifreeze lowers the freezing point of water by 8.00 C˚. Thus, the
freezing point of the solution is -8.00 C˚.
Electrolytic Solutions
• The examples presented earlier on boiling point elevation and freezing point depression
deal with solutions of nonelectrolyte solute. Calculations of electrolytic solutions are
almost similar except that the dissociation of electrolytic solute is included in the
equation.
∆Tb = iKbm ; ∆Tf = iKfm
where i (van’t Hoff factor) denotes the number of ions in one formula unit
• The first equation shows that NaCl, an ionic compound, will dissociate into 2 ions
while the second equation shows that C6H12O6 will not dissociate into ions. In
electrolytic solutions the van’t Hoff factor (i) is being considered which is equal to the
number of ions in one formula unit. This means that NaCl will have i equal to 2 (Na+
and Cl-). NaCl will have twice as many dissolved particles than C6H12O6 which implies
that the boiling point elevation and freezing point depression of the solvent in NaCl
solution (electrolyte) will be twice as much as that of the solvent in the glucose
solution.

- Ethylene glycol (C2H6O2), a major ingredient in car antifreeze lowers the freezing point
of water in winter and raises its boiling point in summer.
- Glycerol (C3H8O3), structurally similar to ethylene glycol allows some fish, insects,
housefly to survive during winter by lowering the freezing point of their blood.
- Ice creams sold by street vendors use a mixture of ice and salt. Addition of salt lowers
the freezing point of ice which makes the ice cream colder and faster.
- Some food preparations like atsara, papaya soaked in solution of vinegar, sugar, salt
and water is an example of an osmosis. The high concentration of solute prevents the
growth of bacteria. The bacteria on the food tend to shrivel and die.
- The movement of water from soil into plant roots and then into the upper portions of
the plant is also due in part to osmosis.

The number of moles of a substance can also be calculated from the mass of
the solute divided by the molar mass of the substance.

4. From this, we can rearrange the equation to get the molar mass of the
unknown substance.

Acid-Base Titration
- In Figure 6a, the flask contains the acid solution with a small of phenolphthalein while
the burette contains the titrant which is a base. In Figure 6b, a base is gradually added
(drop by drop) to the acid solution during titration. The indicator changes color but it
disappears during mixing. Figure 6c shows that the equivalence point is reached when
there is a permanent change in color of the solution. The volume of base added is the
difference between the final and initial burette readings.
