Jul 22, 2024

Learn from K 1112 Channel: Chemistry Twelfth - Solution

Key Points of the Lecture

  • Welcome and Channel Introduction
  • Discussion on Getting Started
  • Beginning of the Solution Chapter

CBSE Updates

Details of the Solution Chapter

  • Types of Mixtures:
    • Solution: Particle size < 1 nm
    • Suspension: Particle size > 1000 nm
    • Colloid: Particle size 1 nm - 1000 nm
  • Mixture: Combination of different components

Homogeneous and Heterogeneous Mixtures

  • Homogeneous Mixtures:
    • Composition is uniform
    • Example: Sugar in Water, Alcohol in Water
  • Heterogeneous Mixtures:
    • Composition is non-uniform
    • Example: Sand in Water, Oil in Water

Characteristics of Solution

  • Solutions are homogeneous
  • Particle size < 1 nm
  • Interaction between components

Important Terms

  • Solute: Which dissolves (e.g., Sugar)
  • Solvent: In which solute dissolves (e.g., Water)
  • Concentration: Amount of solute in the solution

Concentration Expressions

  • Mass Percentage: (Mass of Solute / Mass of Solution) * 100
  • Volume Percentage: (Volume of Solute / Volume of Solution) * 100
  • Parts Per Million (PPM): (Mass of Solute / Mass of Solution) * 10^6
  • Mole Fraction: (Moles of Solute / Total Moles)
  • Molarity (M): (Moles of Solute / Volume of Solution)
  • Molality (m): (Moles of Solute / Mass of Solvent)

Important Questions

  • Solution Stability: Sugar solution in water will never settle
  • Which one is better, Molarity or Molality? (More Usage, Accurate Result)
