Vapour Pressure and Raoult's Law

Raoult's law relates each volatile component's partial pressure to its liquid-phase mole fraction in an ideal solution.

Ideal and Non-Ideal Solutions

Ideal solutions obey Raoult's law throughout composition, while interaction changes produce positive or negative deviations.

Colligative Properties and Relative Lowering

For a dilute solution, colligative properties depend on dissolved-particle number rather than chemical identity.

Boiling-Point Elevation and Freezing-Point Depression

A nonvolatile solute raises boiling point and lowers freezing point in proportion to molality for dilute solutions.

Osmosis, Osmotic Pressure and Reverse Osmosis

Osmosis moves solvent through a semipermeable membrane; osmotic pressure can stop it and greater pressure can reverse it.

Abnormal Molar Mass and Van't Hoff Factor

Solute association or dissociation changes particle count, so the Van't Hoff factor corrects colligative-property equations.
