Quick Recap — Van't Hoff Factor & Deviations

  • Van't Hoff factor i=observed colligative propertycalculated (for i=1)i=\dfrac{\text{observed colligative property}}{\text{calculated (for }i=1)}; dissociation gives i>1i>1, association i<1i<1.
  • Degree of dissociation: i=1+α(n1)i=1+\alpha(n-1); abnormal molar mass: dissociation \Rightarrow observed MM too low, association \Rightarrow too high.
  • Deviations from Raoult: positive (A-B forces weaker, e.g. ethanol++water) or negative (stronger, e.g. acetone++chloroform).
  • Henry's law: p=KHxp=K_H x; gas solubility falls as temperature rises.
