Solution (Theory) (1 )
A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more
pure substances whose composition may be altered
within certain limits. Though the solution is
homogeneous in nature, yet it retains the properties
of its constituents.

water means that 100g of solution contain 5g of
sugar.

Vapour Pressure of Solutions
The pressure exerted by the vapours above the liquid
surface in equilibrium with the liquid at a given
temperature is called vapour pressure of the liquid.
The vapour pressure of a liquid depends on
(i) Nature of liquid
(ii) Temperature
(i) Nature of liquid:- The vapour pressure of
liquid depends upon nature of the liquid, some
liquid has less force of attraction between their
molecules, so they are easily converted into
vapours and exerts more vapour pressure.
Example:- Petrol has quite less force of attraction
so more vapours will be formed and as
comparison to water, water molecules has quite
large force of attraction so their vapours will be
quite less as comparison to Petrol, so as the vapour
pressure.
(ii) Temperature:- Vapours pressure
directly depends upon temperature. If temperature
is large, large number of molecules of liquid are
converted in vapours so as the vapour pressure.

Henry's law
At a constant temperature, the amount of a given gas
dissolved in a given type and volume of liquid is
directly proportional to the partial pressure of that
gas in equilibrium with that liquid.
Or
The law states that the solubility of a gas in a liquid
is proportional to the pressure of that gas above the
liquid
Example of Henry's law:- is given by carbonated
soft drinks such as colas. Before the bottle is
opened, the gas above the drink is slightly higher
pressure than atmospheric pressure. The drink itself
contains dissolved carbon dioxide. When the bottle is
opened, some of this gas escapes, giving the
characteristic hiss. Because the pressure above the
liquid is now lower, some of the dissolved carbon
dioxide comes out of solution as bubbles. If a glass of
the drink is left in the open, the concentration of
carbon dioxide in solution will come into equilibrium
with the carbon dioxide in the air, and the drink will
go nearly "flat" which means the presence of CO
2

become negligible

where:
c -: amount concentration of gas in sol
n
(in mol/L)
p:- partial pressure of gas above the sol
n
(in atm)
x =mole fraction of gas in solution
The constant depends on the solute, the solvent and
the temperature.
Raoults Law for ideal soloution : -Two liquids, A
and B, the total vapor pressure p of the solution is
equal to the sum of the "pure" vapor pressures of the
two components, p*
A
and p*
B
. multiplied by its mole
fraction. Thus the total pressure above solution of A
and B would be
Raoults Law Non-volatile Solute:-
Raoults law which states that, the vapour pressure of
a solution containing non-volatile solute is directly
proportional to the mole fraction of the solvent.
In case of solution containing two components A
(volatile solvent) and B (non-volatile solute) the
vapour pressure of solution is given as

Ideal Solutions
An ideal solution may be defined as the solution
which obeys Raoults law over the entire range
of concentration and temperature:
Conditions for obeying Ideal solution
(i) It should obey Raoults law, i.e.,

(ii) A H

(iii) AV

(iv) The force of attraction between the molecules
of A-A and B-B molecules should be equal to
A-B molecules.
There is no solution which behaves strictly as an
ideal solution. However, the solutions in which
solvent-solvent and solute-solute interactions are
almost of the same type as solvent-solute
interactions, behave nearly as ideal solutions.The
total vapour pressure, P
T
exerted by the solution is
the sum of P
A
and P
B
as required by Daltons law of
partial pressure.

For example, solutions of following pairs almost
behave as ideal solutions:
(a) n-Heptane and n-hexane
(b) Chlorobenzene and bromobenzene
(c) Benzene and toluene
In such solutions, the interactions between molecules
of solute and solvent remain almost of the same as
that of solution. They are not accompanied by any
change in enthalpy or volume, i.e., AH
mixing
=0 &
AV
mixing
=0
It may be noted that although most of the solutions
show deviation from ideal behavior, yet they behave
as ideal solutions when concentration of the solute is
very low. In other words, most of the dilute solutions
behave as ideal solutions.

Non-Ideal Solutions
The solutions which do not obey Raults law
and are accompanied by change in enthalpy and
change in volume during their formation are
called non-ideal solutions. So, for non-ideal
solutions the conditions are:
i) P
T

ii) AH

iii)AV

iv)The force of attraction between the
molecules of A-A and B-B molecules should not
be equal to A-B molecules.
NOTE:-Non-ideal binary solution, none of the
components follows Raoults law.

Types Non-Ideal solutions:
a) Positive Deviations Solution.
b) Negative Deviations Solution.
a) Positive Deviations Solution:-
In positive deviations, the partial vapour
pressure of each component (say A and B)
of solution is greater than the vapour
pressure as expected according to Raoults
law. P
T
> P
A

+ P

This type of deviations are shown by the
solutions in which solvent-solvent and
solute-solute interactions are stronger than
solvent-solute interactions. Since in
solution, the interactions among
molecules becomes weaker, therefore
more molecules will escape the solution
and Vapour pressure become more than
the expected.

Negative Deviations Solution shown by the
solutions in which solvent-solvent &
interactions and solute-solute are weaker than
solvent-solute interactions. Since in solution the
interactions among molecules become stronger,
their escaping tendency decreases which results
in the decrease in their partial vapour
pressure(P
T
.) In such solutions total vapour
pressure of the solution is also less than the
vapour pressure expected according To Raoults
law.
A vapour pressure curve showing negative
deviations.
An example of a solution with negative
deviation is a solution of acetone and
chloroform. In these components there is no
hydrogen bond when they are separate, however,
on mixing, hydrogen bonds are formed between
acetone and chloroform molecules as shown
below:

Azeotropic Mixture
The mixture of liquids which boils at constant
temperature like a pure liquid and possess
same composition of components in liquid as
well as in vapour phase. Azeotropes are also
called constant boiling mixtures because
whole of the mixture changes in vapour state at
constant temperature and their components
compostion will remain same . They can not
even seprated by fractional distillation.
Types of Azeotropic Mixture
i) Maximum boiling azeotropes
ii) Minimum boiling azeotropes
i) Maximum boiling azeotropes:-These
azeotropes are formed by those liquid
Mixture which show negative deviations
from the ideal solution behavior. Such
azeotropes have boiling points higher than
either of the components. Example:-
Let A be solvent and boling point 100K, Let
B be soloute with boling point 105K the
Boling point of maximum boling azotroprs will
be more than 105K it can 110K.
ii) Minimum boiling azeotropes. These
azeotropes are formed by those liquid
mixture which show Positive deviations
from the ideal solution behavior. Such
azeotropes have boiling points lower than either
of the components.
Example:-
Let A be solvent and boling point 100K, Let
B be soloute with boling point 105K the
Boling point of maximum boling azotroprs will
be less than 100 it can 95K.
COLLIGATIVE PROPERTIES
Colligative properties which depend upon
relative number of solute particles but do not
depend upon their nature of solute particles are
called colligative properties.
Types of colligative properties are:
(i) Relative lowering of vapour pressure
(ii) Elevation of boiling point
(iii) Depression of freezing point
(iv) Osmotic pressure.

ii) Elevation of boiling points:-
Boiling point of a liquid may be defined as the
temperature at which its vapour pressure liquid
becomes equal to atmospheric pressure.
Lowering of vapour pressure take place when a
non-volatile solute is added to a volatile solvent.
This causes Decrees in the surface area so to
achieve the same vapour pressure high
temperature is required, which is known as
elevation in the boiling point .
T
0
is the boiling point of the pure solvent.
The vapour pressure of the solution at T
0
is
much less than the atmospheric pressure on
adding non volatile solute
So, it is necessary to heat the solution to a

iii)Depression in Freezing point
Defined as the temperature at which its solid
and liquid phases have the same vapour
pressure.
The freezing point of a pure liquid is fixed till it
pure. Now if a non-volatile solute is dissolved
in the pure liquid to constitute a solution, there
occurs a lowering in the freezing point. Which
is known as depression in freezing point
Now, for the solution the freezing point shall
refer to that temperature at which the vapour
pressure of the solvent in two phase, i.e. liquid
solution and solid solvent is the same. Since the
solvent vapour pressure in solution is depressed,
its vapour pressure will become equal to that of
the solid solvent at a lower temperature.

and molecular mass of the solute is based on the
following assumptions:
(i) The solution is dilute, so that Raoults Law
is obeyed.
(ii) The solution neither undergoes dissociation
nor association in solution.

Abnormal Molecular Masses
The molecular mass can be un-expected due to
