CHEMICAL SOLUTIONS – COMPLETE MASTER
NOTES (JEE + BOARDS)
This document covers the chapter 'Solutions' from zero to advanced level, including theory,
formulas, PYQs, traps, and examples.
1. BASIC DEFINITIONS
Solution: Homogeneous mixture of two or more components.
Solvent: Component present in larger amount.
Solute: Component present in smaller amount.
2. TYPES OF SOLUTIONS
Gas in gas, liquid in liquid, solid in liquid, etc.
3. CONCENTRATION TERMS
Molarity (M) = moles of solute / volume of solution in liters
Molality (m) = moles of solute / mass of solvent in kg
Normality (N) = equivalents / liter
4. HENRY'S LAW
p = kH x where p = partial pressure, x = mole fraction
5. RAOULT'S LAW
p1 = x1 * p1°
6. COLLIGATIVE PROPERTIES
Relative lowering of vapor pressure
Elevation in boiling point: ∆Tb = Kb m
Depression in freezing point: ∆Tf = Kf m
Osmotic pressure: π = CRT
7. PYQ EXAMPLE
Find molarity of solution containing 5g NaCl in 500 mL solution.
Solution: moles = 5/58.5 ≈ 0.0855, M = 0.0855 / 0.5 = 0.171 M
8. COMMON JEE TRAPS
Confusing molarity with molality.
Temperature dependence of molarity.
9. BOARD LEVEL QUESTIONS
Define molality and give its formula.
