CORE FORMULAS (LaTeX)

FormulaExpressionKey Variable
Henry's Lawp=KHxp = K_H \cdot xK_H ↑ with T → solubility ↓
Raoult's Law (volatile)PT=xAPA+xBPBP_T = x_A P^\circ_A + x_B P^\circ_Bx = liquid mole fraction
Raoult's Law (non-volatile)ΔPP=xsolute\frac{\Delta P}{P^\circ} = x_{solute}x_solute = n_{2}/(n_{1}+n_{2})
Boiling point elevationΔTb=iKbm\Delta T_b = iK_bmm = mol/kg solvent
Freezing point depressionΔTf=iKfm\Delta T_f = iK_fmKf(water) = 1.86
Osmotic pressureπ=iCRT\pi = iCRTC = mol/L; T in K
Molar mass (ΔTb\Delta Tb)M2=Kbw2×1000ΔTbw1M_2 = \frac{K_b w_2 \times 1000}{\Delta T_b \cdot w_1}w in grams
Dissociation ii=1+(n1)αi = 1 + (n-1)\alphan = ions; α = fraction
Association ii=1(n1)nαi = 1 - \frac{(n-1)}{n}\alphan = monomers per cluster

WATER CONSTANTS

  • Kb = 0.52 K·kg/mol | Kf = 1.86 K·kg/mol | Kf > Kb (remember: 1.86 > 0.52)
  • R = 0.0821 L·atm/(mol·K) for osmotic pressure

CRITICAL RULES

  1. Colligative properties → particle NUMBER, not nature or size
  2. ΔTb\Delta Tb, ΔTf\Delta Tf use molality; π uses molarity; both use T in Kelvin for π
  3. Association → i < 1 → apparent M > true M
  4. Dissociation → i > 1 → apparent M < true M
  5. Positive deviation → Min. boiling azeotrope | Negative deviation → Max. boiling azeotrope
  6. Gas solubility decreases with temperature (K_H increases)
  7. Kf(water) > Kb(water) because ΔHf\Delta Hfus < ΔHv\Delta Hvap
