Raoult's Law and Lower Vapor Pressure

Description

Raoult’s law explains why a solution with a nonvolatile solute has a lower vapor pressure than the pure liquid. Vapor pressure is the pressure from a liquid’s gas phase when vaporization and condensation happen at equal rates. When a nonvolatile substance dissolves in a volatile liquid, the liquid’s equilibrium vapor pressur...

Some properties of a solution depend on the type of solute. An aqueous solution of hydrochloric acid turns a pH paper red, while a sodium hydroxide solution turns it blue.

Other properties of a solution depend only on the concentration or the number of particles of the solute rather than the type of solute. These are called colligative pr...
