Solutions - NEET Chemistry Chapter Notes
1. Types of Solutions:
- Solid in Solid (e.g., alloys), Liquid in Liquid (e.g., alcohol in water), Gas in Liquid (e.g., soda), Gas
in Gas (e.g., air).
2. Concentration Terms:
- Mass % = (mass of solute / mass of solution) x 100
- Mole Fraction (chi) = moles of one component / total moles
- Molarity (M) = moles of solute / volume in L
- Molality (m) = moles of solute / mass of solvent in kg
- Normality (N) = gram equivalents / volume in L
3. Solubility:
- Depends on temperature and pressure.
- Henry's Law: p = kH x mole fraction
4. Vapour Pressure & Raoult's Law:
- P_total = xA·PA° + xB·PB°
- Ideal: Delta H_mix = 0, No volume change. Non-Ideal: Deviations observed.
5. Colligative Properties:
- Relative Lowering of Vapour Pressure: Delta P / P0 = x_solute
- Boiling Point Elevation: Delta Tb = Kb·m
- Freezing Point Depression: Delta Tf = Kf·m
- Osmotic Pressure: pi = CRT
6. Abnormal Molar Mass & van't Hoff Factor (i):
- i = observed colligative property / expected
7. NEET Tips:
- Keep units in SI, temperature in Kelvin, R approx. 0.0821.
