SHORT NOTES – SOLUTIONS (Class 12 Chemistry, CBSE)
1. Types of Solutions
- Gaseous: Gas in gas (air)
- Liquid: Gas/Liquid/Solid in liquid (soda water, sugar in water)
- Solid: Solid in solid (alloys)
2. Concentration Terms
- Mass %, Volume %, ppm
- Mole fraction (χ)
- Molarity (M)
- Molality (m)
3. Solubility
- Solid in liquid ↑ with temperature
- Gas in liquid ↓ with temperature, ↑ with pressure
Henry’s Law: p = kH × x
4. Raoult’s Law
- PA = χA × P°A
- Ideal solutions: ∆H = 0, ∆V = 0
- Non-ideal: Positive/Negative deviation
5. Colligative Properties
- Relative lowering of vapour pressure
- Elevation of boiling point: ∆Tb = Kb × m
- Depression of freezing point: ∆Tf = Kf × m
- Osmotic pressure: π = CRT
6. Abnormal Molar Mass
- Van’t Hoff factor (i)
7. Ideal vs Non-Ideal Solutions
- Ideal: Obeys Raoult’s law
- Non-Ideal: Deviations, ∆H ≠ 0
