Class 12 Chemistry - Chapter 2: Solutions
Short Notes
1. Types of Solutions: Solid, Liquid, Gas based on solute-solvent phases.
2. Concentration: Mass %, Volume %, Molarity, Molality, Mole Fraction.
3. Henry's Law: p = KH * x (Gas solubility is directly proportional to pressure).
4. Raoult's Law: p_total = p_A * x_A + p_B * x_B (for volatile liquids).
5. Colligative Properties:
- Relative Lowering of Vapour Pressure
- Elevation in Boiling Point: Delta Tb = Kb * m
- Depression in Freezing Point: Delta Tf = Kf * m
- Osmotic Pressure: pi = C * R * T
6. Van't Hoff Factor (i): Corrects molar mass for association/dissociation.
Important Questions
1. Define and explain Raoult's Law with a suitable expression.
2. Derive the formula for elevation in boiling point.
3. Explain the factors affecting solubility of solids and gases in liquids.
4. What is Henry's Law? State its applications.
5. Differentiate between ideal and non-ideal solutions.
6. Derive the relation for osmotic pressure. How can it be used to determine molar mass?
7. What are colligative properties? Explain any two with formulas.
8. Define Van't Hoff factor and explain its significance with abnormal molar mass.
