Osmosis and Osmotic Pressure

Science > Chemistry > Solutions and Their Colligative Properties > Osmosis and Osmotic Pressure In this article, we shall study the phenomenon of osmosis and osmotic pressure. Semipermeable Membrane: A semipermeable membrane is a membrane which allows the solvent molecules, but not the solute molecules through it. Examples: Cellulosde, cellulose nitrate, animal bladder. Osmosis: The spontaneous […]

Boiling Point Elevation and Freezing Point Depression

Science > Chemistry > Solutions and Their Colligative Properties > Boiling Point Elevation and Freezing Point Depression In this article, we shall study two colligative properties of solutions, namely elevation of boiling point and depression in freezing point due to addition of solute. Elevation of Boiling Point: Boiling Point of a Liquid: Boiling point is […]

Lowering of Vapour Pressure of Solution

Science > Chemistry > Solutions and Their Colligative Properties > Colligative Properties In this article, we shall learn the meaning of colligative properties, colligative properties of solutions, and the lowering of vapour pressure due to the addition of solute in a solvent. Colligative Properties: Colligative properties are those properties of dilute solutions that depend only […]

Solutions of Gases in Liquids

Science > Chemistry > Solutions and Their Colligative Properties > Solutions of Gases in Liquids In this article, we shall study solutions of gases in liquids and Henry’s law of solubility. Almost all the gases are soluble in water as well as in other liquids to a greater or lesser extent. The solubility of gases […]
