Solutions & Colligative Properties
Pa
The partial vapour pressure of each component of an ideal solution equals its mole fraction times its pure vapour pressure.
p_A = x_A p°_A
Relative Lowering of Vapour Pressure
Solutions & Colligative Properties
Dimensionless
The fractional reduction in a solvent's vapour pressure caused by dissolving a non-volatile solute.
(p° − p) / p° = x_solute
Reverse Osmosis
Solutions & Colligative Properties
atm
The forced flow of solvent from a concentrated to a dilute solution by applying pressure greater than the osmotic pressure.
p_applied > π
