Henry's Law: p = K_H × x. K_H increases with temperature → gas solubility decreases with increasing temperature. Application: carbonated drinks, "the bends" in divers.
-
Raoult's Law: P_A = x_A·P°_A for each component. Total pressure = x_A·P°_A + x_B·P°_B (ideal, volatile binary). For non-volatile solute: /P° = x_solute.
-
Ideal solutions: _mix = 0, _mix = 0, obeys Raoult's law. _mix > 0 (always). Examples: benzene + toluene, n-hexane + n-heptane.
-
Positive deviation: A-B interactions weaker → P_obs > P_Raoult → _mix > 0, _mix > 0 → minimum boiling azeotrope. Example: ethanol + water.
-
Negative deviation: A-B interactions stronger → P_obs < P_Raoult → _mix < 0, _mix < 0 → maximum boiling azeotrope. Example: + acetone.

Four colligative properties (all depend on number of particles, not nature):
- Relative lowering of VP: /P° = x_solute
- Boiling point elevation: = iKbm (Kb water = 0.52 K·kg/mol)
- Freezing point depression: = iKfm (Kf water = 1.86 K·kg/mol)
- Osmotic pressure: π = iCRT
-
Water constants: Kb = 0.52, Kf = 1.86 (Kf > Kb because us < ap). Camphor Kf = 40 K·kg/mol (largest — used in Rast's method).
-
Molar mass determination: = Kb × w_{2} × 1000 / ( × w_{1}). Osmotic pressure most sensitive for macromolecules.
-
Van't Hoff factor (i): i = observed / theoretical. Dissociation: i > 1; i = 1 + (n−1)α. Association: i < 1; i = 1 − α/2 (for dimers). NaCl: i=2; : i=3; : i=4; in benzene: i=0.5.
-
Association effect on molar mass: i < 1 → fewer particles → smaller colligative effect → apparent M > true M. Dissociation → apparent M < true M.
-
Osmosis: Solvent flows from lower to higher osmotic pressure through a semipermeable membrane. Reverse osmosis: apply P_ext > π to purify water.
-
Isotonic, hypertonic, hypotonic: Cells in hypotonic solution swell (haemolysis); in hypertonic they shrink (crenation); isotonic = no net flow (0.9% NaCl for blood).
