Colligative properties
Colligative properties
Colligative property- a property of a
solution that depends on concentration of
solute (the number of solute particles
dissolved) but NOT on type of solute
3 colligative properties:
Vapor pressure reduction
Boiling point elevation
Freezing point depression
Vapor pressure
The pressure DIRECTLY above the
surface of a liquid exerted by the
molecules that have evaporated
LOW vapor pressure = not much
evaporation occurring
HIGH vapor pressure = lots of evaporation
Vapor pressure reduction
Solute interferes with vaporization of
water, therefore LOWERS the pressure of
the vapor pressing down on surface
How does this influence boiling
point & freezing point?
Boiling Point: The temperature at which
the vapor pressure of the liquid phase
equals atmospheric pressure.
Boiling-Point Elevation
Boiling point elevation: The
difference in temperature between
the boiling point of a SOLUTION
and the boiling point of the pure
solvent (water).
Because of the decrease in vapor
pressure, additional kinetic energy
must be added to raise the vapor
pressure of the liquid phase of the
solution to atmospheric pressure to
initiate boiling.
Boiling point Elevation
Since vapor pressure is lowered, boiling
point is elevated
Application: Adding salt to water
while cooking pasta
Water does not
boil faster
Water is boiling
at a higher
temperature so
pasta cooks
faster
Freezing-Point Depression
Freezing-Point Depression: The difference
in temperature between the freezing point
of a solution and the freezing point of the
pure solvent (water).
The presence of a solute in water disrupts the
formation of the orderly pattern of ice.
Therefore more kinetic energy must be
withdrawn from a solution than from the pure
solvent to cause the solution to solidify.
Freezing Point Depression
Freezing point depression
Since vapor
pressure
lowered,
freezing point
is LOWERED
Freezing point depression
Freezing-Point Depression
The magnitude of the
freezing-point depression
is proportional to the
number of solute particles
dissolved in the solvent
and does not depend upon
their identity.
Which would be a better salt
for putting on icy roads,
NaCl or CaCl2?
Therefore…
Because freezing point of water goes
down, we can make things like
ICE CREAM!!!!
Ice cream directions
Partner 2- food
Partner 1 -ice 1. Grab small ziplock bag
1. Grab large ziplock bag 2. Add 1 cup milk
2. Fill ½ way with ice 3. 2 tablespoons sugar
3. Add 1 scoop of salt 4. 1 teaspoon vanilla
5. Squeeze air out of bag
and shut tight!!!
Smaller bag goes in larger bag– agitate
& toss (about 10 minutes)
Once milk has hardened, 1 person eats
out of bag, 1 person eats out of bowl
Do not throw away spoons or ice
