(Ideal) Solutions

 

Measures of composition

 

Ideal solutions (mi = i* + RT ln Xi)
Raoult's Law:  Pi = Xi Pi*;  DHmix = DVmix = 0

 

Ideally dilute solutions (mb = b° + RT ln Xb or mb = m,b° + RT ln mb)
Henry's Law (Pb = Xb Kb or Pb = mb Km,b)

 

Standard states

 

Chpt. 10

Nonideal Solutions

 

Activities (mi = i° + RT ln ai = i° + RT ln gi Xi)

 

      Convention I (based on ideal solutions, Raoult's law)
Convention II (based on ideally dilute solutions, Henry's law)

 

Positive, negative deviations from Raoult's law
(including molecular interpretation)
