Colligative Properties, Colloids, Surfactants

  • Colligative properties of solutions – properties depending on number of particles (ions, molecules) dissolved

  • Raoult’s Law of vapor pressure lowering: vp = vpo(mol. frac. solvent)

  • Elevation of b.p. and depression of f.p. similar: DT = K(molality)

  • Use these to determine molar masses of solutes

  • V der W’s alpha: anomalous results due to ionic dissociation

  • Osmosis: flow of solvent across semipermeable membranes; example – red blood cells

  • Osmotic Pressure, PV =nRT where R is usual gas constant

  • Use osmotic pressure to determine molar masses of large molecules like proteins

  • Colloids: particles larger than ions/molecules but not large enough to settle

  • Tyndall effect: colloids scatter light

  • Soaps and surfactants: hydrophilic head and hydrophobic tail

Lecture Slides are screen-captured images of important points in the lecture. Students can download and print out these lecture slide images to do practice problems as well as take notes while watching the lecture.
