Colligative properties are physical properties of solutions that arise because of the number of solute molecules dissolved in solution and not on the kind of solute particles dissolved in solution. Pure Liquid Pure Liquid with solute

Osmosis is the selective passage of solvent molecules through a semipermeable membrane from a dilute solution to a more concentrated one. dilute more concentrated
Osmosis is the diffusion of a solvent (frequently water) through a semi-permeable membrane, from a solution of low solute concentration (high water potential) to a solution with high solute concentration (low water potential), up a solute concentration gradient. pure solvent semipermeable membrane solution osmotic pressure An applied pressure is needed to prevent volume increase; this pressure is the osmotic pressure!
An pressure difference results from the net movement of solvent from a less-solute concentrated (hypotonic) to the more-solute concentrated (hypertonic) solution. For dilute solutions of electrolytes the osmotic pressure is given by: π = n V R T π = M R T Δπ = ΔM R T M is the molarity of the solution R is the gas constant T is the temperature (in Kelvin) Remember: The driving force is due to the difference in concentration of the solutions on each side of the membrane.
Cell membranes are semi-permeable membranes that are susceptable to diffusion of water and a some ions. No Osmotic Pressure Concentrations Are the Same Movement of solvent (water) from dilute to concentrated side! isotonic solution hypotonic solution hypertonic solution

Suppose we have a 0.020 molar solution of table sugar (sucrose) and a semi-permeable membrane not permeable to sucrose.

Biochemists have discovered more than 400 mutant varieties of hemoglobin (Hb), the blood protein that carries oxygen throughout the body. A physician studying a form of Hb associated with a fatal disease first finds its molar mass (M). She dissolves 21.5 mg of the protein in water at 5.0 o C to make 1.50 ml of solution and measures an osmotic pressure of 3.61 torr. What is the molar mass of this Hb mutant? PLAN: We know Π as well as R and T. Convert Π to atm and T to Kelvin. Use the Π equation to find the molarity M and then the amount and volume of the sample to calculate M. SOLUTION: # mol = g/m M = Π RT 2.08 x 10-4 mol L 21.5 mg x x g 10 3 mg = 3.61 torr x atm 760 torr (0.0821 L. atm/mol.

Calculation of Molar mass We can calculate the Molar Mass of a substance using any four of the colligative properties solutions. We use the freezing point depression and osmotic pressure normally as both have much larger changes (easier to measure). If you measure the change in colligative properties for a 1.25 molal sucrose osmotic pressure and freezing point show the largest change and are easiest to measure (especially osmotic pressure).

Colloids are dispersions of particles of submicrometer dimensions, suspended in a solvent. suspended colloidal particles are much larger than solute molecules---1 micron Much of living matter form sols and emulsions and dispersions (starches, proteins, smog) Colloids appear milky or cloudy-- particulate phase colloidal suspension is not homogeneous as a solution
Suspension (left) vs Colloid (right)
Colloids and the large particles scatter light in a process called the Tyndall Effect. Particles in solution that are have dimensions on the order of the wavelength of visible light scatter light that can be observed by the eye. Dust particles, pollution particles, smoke, fog, solid solute particles in water all scatter light.
Colloids can be formed by combining any two or more phases of matter.
