Colligative Properties
How does the solute change the properties of the solvent?
• Consider aqueous solutions.• Solvent = water.
• How do the properties of the solution compare to the properties of pure water?
Conductivity
• Pure water does not conduct electricity.
• Some solutions do.• In order to conduct a current, a
solution must contain ions.• Conductivity depends on the
nature of the particle – Molecular solutes do not conduct.
Colligative Properties
• Depend on the number of particles in solution not on the type of particles. –Doesn’t matter if particles are ions or molecules.
–Concentration of particles doesdoes matter.
What are some colligative properties?
• Vapor Pressure Lowering• Freezing Point Depression• Boiling Point Elevation• Osmotic Pressure
• The higher the concentration of solute particles, the larger the effect!
Colligative Properties
• Useful for determining the nature of solute after it is dissolved in the solvent
• Useful for determining the molecular mass of the solute
Vapor Pressure Lowering
• Presence of nonvolatile solute lowers the vapor pressure of the solution compared to that of the pure solvent.
• Has implications for the phase diagram.
• Normal b.p. = temperature at which the v.p. = 1 atm.
• So, solutions must be heated to a higher T to reach a v.p. of 1 atm.
• Boiling Point Elevation
Nonvolatile Solute
Pure solvent
Solvent + a nonvolatile solute

New triple point.
Change in boiling point, Tb
Tb = Tb – Tb0
Tb = boiling point of solution – boiling point of solvent (Tb > Tb
0) so Tb is always a positive #.
Tb = Kbmsolute
– Kb = a constant characteristic of the solvent = molal boiling-point elevation constant (C/m)
– msolute = molality of the solute in solution
Tb = Kbmsolute
• The higher the concentration, the bigger the effect. So solutes stretch out the temperature range of the liquid phase.

Boiling Point of Solution
• What is the boiling point of a solution containing 478 g of ethylene glycol (antifreeze) in 3202 g of water?
• • The molar mass of ethylene glycol is
62 g/mol.
• Kb for water is 0.51Ckg/mol.
• Boiling point of pure water = 100C
Boiling Point of Solution
Tb = Kbmsolute
• Moles ethylene glycol = 478g / 62 g/mol =7.71
• Molality ethylene glycol = 7.71 mol / 3.202 kg H2O
• = 2.41 m
Tb = (0.51Ckg/mol)(2.41 mol/kg) = 1.23C
• Boiling Point of Solution = Tb + Tb = 101.23C
Calculating Molar Mass
• msolute = Tb/Kb
• msolute = moles solute/kg solvent
• And moles solute = mass solute/FM
(mass solute/FM) = Tb/Kbkg solvent
Calculating Molar Mass
• Rearranging:
• FM = (kg solvent)(Tb)Kb(mass solute)
Kb(mass solute)FM = (kg solvent)(Tb)
• Tb of pure benzene = 80.1C• Kb for benzene is 2.53 Ckg/mol
• 10.9 grams of unknown solute are dissolved in 75.8 grams of benzene. Tb of the solution is 82.1C. Estimate the molar mass of the solute.
• So Tb = 2.0C
Kb(mass solute)FM = (kg solvent)(Tb)
• FM = (2.53Ckg/mol)(10.9 g)(0.0758 kg)(2.0C)
FM = 182 g/mol
Change in freezing point, Tf
Tf = Tf0 – Tf
Tf = freezing point of solvent – freezing point of solution. (Tf
0 > Tf) always positive
Tf = Kfmsolute
– Kf = molal freezing-point depression constant of the solvent (C/m)
– m = molality of solute in solution
What is the freezing point of a solution containing 478 g of ethylene glycol in 3202 g of H2O?
• Formula mass of ethylene glycol = 62 g/mol. Moles of ethylene glycol = 478 g/62 g/mol = 7.71 moles. For water, Kf = 1.86 C/m. Molality = 7.71 moles/3.202 kg = 2.41 m.
Tf = Kfm = (1.86C/m)(2.41 m) = 4.48C.
• Tf = 0.0C – 4.48C = -4.48C
Does it matter if the solute is an electrolyte or a
nonelectrolyte?• The number of particles will vary.• Electrolytes will dissolve to produce
positive and negative ions more particles per mole of solute.
• For nonelectrolytes, 1-to-1 relationship between moles of solute and moles of dissolved particles.
C6H12O6
• Nonelectrolyte• Dissolves as molecules
• C6H12O6(s) C6H12O6(aq)
• 1 mole of sugar yields 1 mole of molecules
NaCl
•Electrolyte (salt)•Dissolves as ions•NaCl(s) Na+(aq) + Cl-(aq)•1 mole of salt yields 2 moles
of ions
MgCl2
•Electrolyte•Dissolves as ions
•MgCl2(s) Mg2+(aq) + 2Cl-
(aq)•1 mole of salt yields 3 moles
of ions
Nature of solute
• Colligative properties depend on concentration of solute particles
• Use experimental data to determine moles of particles in solution.
Real Life
• Salts do not always exhibit complete dissociation.
• Result: The actual Tb or Tf is less than predicted from the dissolving equation.
• Evidence that “Ion-pairing” occurs in solution. – More ion pairing in concentrated solutions & when
ions have multiple charges.
As a solute is added to a solvent, what happens to the freezing point & the boiling point of the solution?
1) 1) The freezing point decreases & the boiling point decreases.
2) The freezing point decreases & the boiling point increases.
3) The freezing point increases & the boiling point decreases.
4) The freezing point increases & the boiling point increases.

Applications of colligative properties
• Salting roads in the winter time.
• Using salted ice to make ice cream.
• Antifreeze in radiator to protect water from overheating or freezing
Osmosis
Osmosis
• A solution and a pure solvent are separated by a semipermeable membrane.
• Solvent, but NOT solute molecules, can pass through the membrane.
Osmosis
• The solvent flows from the region of higher solvent concentration to the region of lower solvent concentration.
• Volumesolution and volumesolvent as a f(t)
• At equilibrium, the liquid levels stop changing.
• More hydrostatic pressure on the solution than on the solvent.
Hydrostatic pressure due to
Another common set-up
Osmotic Pressure
• Minimum hydrostatic pressure that stops the net flow of solvent across the membrane into the solution.
• Can be used to characterize solutions and determine molar mass
• Small concentration of solute produces large osmotic pressure
Net movement of solvent into solution over time.
At equilibrium
Note: the phrases “more and less concentrated solution” relate to the initial and final conditions of the solution in the bulb. The pure solvent is outside the bulb.
At equilibrium
Net flow of water across membrane.
