Essential Formulas & Mathematical Definitions

Raoult: P = P°A xA + P°B xB
ΔTb = i Kb m
ΔTf = i Kf m
Π = i C R T
i = 1 + (n - 1)α

Ideal vs Non-Ideal Solutions

Ideal solutions obey Raoult's law (ΔH_mix=0, ΔV_mix=0). Positive deviation forms minimum boiling azeotropes (Ethanol+Water); negative deviation forms maximum boiling azeotropes (Acetone+Chloroform).

4 Colligative Properties & Van 't Hoff Factor

Depend solely on solute particle count: RLVP, Boiling elevation, Freezing depression, Osmotic pressure. Van 't Hoff factor i accounts for dissociation (i>1) or association (i<1).

Exam Day Revision & Problem Solving Checklist

  • ✓Osmotic pressure Π = iCRT is preferred for molar mass of biomolecules due to room temp stability
  • ✓Account for dissociation of electrolytes (NaCl i=2, BaCl₂ i=3)
  • ✓Review Practical Applications & Real-World Case Studies before tackling multi-step practice questions

High-Yield Exam Strategy & Scoring Tips

Step-by-Step Mark Allocation

Always state the governing principle or formula first, write given values with standard SI units, substitute clearly, and highlight the final numerical answer with units in a box for full step marking.

Common Calculation Traps

Watch for unit prefixes (cm to m, minutes to seconds, g to kg, degrees to radians). In coordinate and ray optics problems, double-check Cartesian sign conventions before computing.
