Chemistry Course - Colligative Properties of Solutions

Freezing point depression, boiling point elevation, osmotic pressure, Raoult's law of volatile and nonvolatile solutions

At the end of the course, the student will be able to understand the colligative properties of solutions.

The main colligative properties of solution include freezing point depression, boiling point elevation and osmotic pressure.

After learning freezing point depression, student will be able to calculate

freezing point of a solution
the unknown molar mass of a solute in the solution
Under Boiling point elevation, student will be able to learn how to calculate

the boiling point of solution
the unknown molar mass of solute in the solution
Under osmotic pressure, student will learn how to calculate

the unknown molecular weight of solute in the solution
Another important colligative property is Van't Hoff Factor. It helps us to understand if a compound associates or dissociates in a solution.

After going through Van't Hoff factor, student be able to calculate

degree of dissociation
association of a compound in the solution
Under Raoult's law of solutions, student will learn

Raoult's law of volatile mixture
Raoult's law of non-volatile solute
Henry's law
how Raoult's law is a special case of Henry law
Under Raoult's law of non-volatile solute, student will be able to learn how to use Raoult's law formula

for dilute solutions
for concentrated solutions
