(a) What are non-ideal solution?
(b) What role does the molecular interaction play in deciding the vapour pressure of solutions (i) alcohol and kerosene (ii) Chloroform and acetone.
Answer:
osmotic pressure is proportional to the molarity, C of the solution at a given temperature T. Thus: Π = C R T
Here Π is the osmotic pressure and R is the gas constant.
Π = (n2 /V) R T
Here V is volume of a solution in litres containing n2 moles of solute. If w2 grams of solute, of molar mass, M2 is present in the solution, then n2 = w2 / M2 and we can write,
in a dilute aqueous solution molarity is equal to molality.
c = m when p = 1 and solution is dilute.
The osmotic pressure will increase with an increase in molality of the solution at a given temperature.
