Colligative Properties Experiment- Chem 2 Labs


Know for exam:

Terms:

The colligative properties:

nonelectrolyte, electrolyte, molality, mole fraction,
van't Hoff factor, Raoult's law

Calculations:

1. Calculation of concentration in molality, m (vs molarity, M) and mole fraction

2. The colligative properties depend only on the number of nonvolatile solute particles
in solution, not their identities.

3. Prediction of van't Hoff number for electrolytes and nonelectrolytes

4. Calculation of expected temperature change of boiling point or freezing point.
