Real solutions refer to mixtures where the interactions between different components deviate from the ideal behavior predicted by Raoult’s Law. Unlike ideal solutions, real solutions experience non-ideal effects due to variations in intermolecular forces, molecular sizes, and other factors influencing the behavior of the mixture. Key Characteristics 1. Deviation from …
Raoult’s Law
Raoult’s Law is a fundamental principle in the study of ideal solutions, providing insights into the behavior of mixtures, particularly liquids. Named after French chemist François-Marie Raoult, this law describes the relationship between the vapor pressures of the components in an ideal solution. Ideal solutions are theoretical models where the …
Ideal solutions
Ideal solutions are a special class of mixtures in which the behavior of the mixture is predictable based on the idealized behavior of its components. In an ideal solution, the interactions between the molecules of different components are similar to the interactions between molecules of the same component. This leads …
